[ovirt-users] Re: vdsm 4.50.3.4 and qemu-kvm update problem

Hello, I have the same issue issue with my oVirt v4.5.x system installed by following the oVirt official installation document at https://www.ovirt.org/download/install_on_rhel.html The oVirt hosts are Rocky Linux v8.6. When trying to upgrade the oVirt hosts using oVirt's webadmin GUI or by executing the "yum upgrade" command on the oVirt hosts, it fails due to a dependency issue. "Problem 1: cannot install the best update candidate for package vdsm-4.50.2.2-1.el8.x86_64 - nothing provides qemu-kvm >= 15:6.2.0-11.module+el8.6.0+16360+9e5d914e.4 needed by vdsm-4.50.3.4-1.el8.x86_64" The oVirt package vdsm-4.50.3.4-1.el8.x86_64 requires qemu-kvm-6.2.0-11.module+el8.6.0+16360+9e5d914e.4 or newer, whereas Rocky Linux provides qemu-kvm-6.2.0-11.module+el8.6.0+1052+ff61d164.6. For the qemu-kvm package, even though their version numbers are exactly the same (6.2.0-11.module+el8.6.0), dnf/yum thinks that the "1052" build number for RockyLinux is older than the 16360 build number required for vdsm-4.50.3.4-1.el8.x86_64. When I chatted with Rocky Linux developers, they've explained me that this issue's caused by how the vendor (oVirt) developers pack their software and setting out build requirements. OVirt packages uses the exact version numbers, including the build numbers, which increment on each module build. Unfortunately, Red Hat has a higher increment than all the EL8 derivatives. Is it possible to solve this issue if you (oVirt developers) are able to re-set the requirements without using any build numbers (by only saying BuildRequires: qemu-kvm >= 6.2.0-11) to increase the compatibility with the other Enterprise Linux operating systems?
