As you quoted, the requirement states:
%if 0%{?rhel} >= 8
%if 0%{?centos}
Rocky linux probably doesn't have these macros.
OTOH 'ovirt-host' package requires plain 'libvirt',
no version limitations, and that probably sucks in "any 'qemu-kvm'
possible".
I expect "rhel" to be available on every rhel-like distro but centos is
most likely not available.
So we expect to use the rhel branch:
# 4.4, AV 8.4 - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1948532
Requires: qemu-kvm >= 15:5.2.0-15.module+el8.4.0+10650+50781ca0
And this should fail if only qemu-kvm 4.2.0 is available.
I could reproduce this strange behavior, even when qemu 5.2.0
is available:
1. Remove host from engine
2. dnf remove vdsm-\* qemu-\* libvirt-\*
3. dnf install qemu-img-4.2.0
(I needed this for testing imageio patch)
4. dnf install vdsm vdsm-client
And I ended with qemu-kvm 4.2.0 instead of 5.2.0.
5. dnf update
qemu-kvm was updated to 5.2.0.
I hope that someone community can help to resolve this issue.
vdsm patches can be sent using gerrit, please see:
