[ovirt-users] Re: error importing from VMware, and workaround

more details in my saga of problem imports from VMware/vsphere to ovirt (4.4.1 node) I had done a couple successfully, but my next one kept failing. Couldnt figure out why. The only things resembling an error in the import logs, were this: (trimmed a bit) "rpm -e vmware-tools-nox vmware-tools-common" { "message": "libguestfs error: command: error: Failed dependencies:\n\tvmware-tools-nox = 8.3.19 is needed by (installed) vmware-tools-8.3.19-1310361.el6.x86_64", "timestamp": "2020-08-02T21:28:08.797433658+00:00", "type": "error" } I thought to myself.. nah, that couldnt be it. import failed.. because you couldnt REMOVE a package??? that would be dumb. but that was the problem. I started up the old vm, did a yum remove 'vmware-*' reexported from VMware, and then imported... and this time, the import worked. Please fix that behaviour.
