Hello, My self hosted engine environment was born in 3.6.0 in November with CentOS 7 on host and CentOS 7 appliance. I managed several updates applying 3.6.2, then 3.6.5, then 4.0. Now I'm at 4.0.2 final and in web admin gui I see a message regarding updates available on host (hosted_engine_1) that doesn't go away. The host usually was updated through "yum update" and not from the gui during updates described above.
In events pane it seems the problem is related with libvirt package
Host hosted_engine_1 has available updates: libvirt.
Actually at this moment the libvirt package (that seems actually a sort of meta-package) is not installed and I think has been never here. Situation is:
[root@ractor log]# rpm -qa|grep libvirt libvirt-daemon-driver-network-1.2.17-13.el7_2.5.x86_64 libvirt-daemon-driver-interface-1.2.17-13.el7_2.5.x86_64 libvirt-daemon-kvm-1.2.17-13.el7_2.5.x86_64 libvirt-client-1.2.17-13.el7_2.5.x86_64 libvirt-daemon-1.2.17-13.el7_2.5.x86_64 libvirt-lock-sanlock-1.2.17-13.el7_2.5.x86_64 libvirt-daemon-driver-storage-1.2.17-13.el7_2.5.x86_64 libvirt-daemon-driver-qemu-1.2.17-13.el7_2.5.x86_64 libvirt-daemon-driver-nodedev-1.2.17-13.el7_2.5.x86_64 libvirt-python-1.2.17-2.el7.x86_64 libvirt-daemon-config-nwfilter-1.2.17-13.el7_2.5.x86_64 libvirt-daemon-driver-nwfilter-1.2.17-13.el7_2.5.x86_64 libvirt-daemon-driver-secret-1.2.17-13.el7_2.5.x86_64 [root@ractor log]#
If I run "yum install libvirt" I'm proposed:

How to proceed? [...] I t should be safe to install the dependencies. Adding Michal and Francesco to confirm.
Not sure why it is proposed just now and not before. The -lxc package is not used by oVirt, so it will just sit there. The libvirt-daemon-config-network package should be harmless, it just contains the configuration fir libvirt's default bridge ‘virbr0'
well, harmless….though for a good reason we stopped pulling in “libvirt” as the metapackage brings problematic deps in certain cases (iirc it was due to ppc64le) That’s why we depend on exactly just libvirt-daemon-config-nwfilter libvirt-daemon-kvm libvirt-lock-sanlock libvirt-client libvirt-python As Francesco says it’s mostly harmless, it’s just that on a truly clean environment “libvirt” wouldn’t be installed Thanks, michal
Bests,
