Hello,
I have a CentOS 8.3 + updates host in a 4.4.4 environment.
The web admin gui shows that it needs to upgrade to some packages.
The check event in web admin gui says:
Check for available updates on host ov300 was completed successfully with
message 'nss.x86_64, grub2-tools-efi.x86_64, bind-utils.x86_64,
dracut-network.x86_64, libvirt-daemon-driver-qemu.x86_64,
qemu-kvm-common.x86_64, libvirt-daemon-driver-storage-scsi.x86_64,
libvirt-daemon-driver-nodedev.x86_64, nss-sysinit.x86_64,
grub2-tools-minimal.x86_64 and 74 others. To see all packages check
engine.log.'.
If I go to engine in file ovirt-host-mgmt-ansible-check-.....log I get:

I upgrade the host from the gui (without restart).
So far so good.
But now if I connect to the host I get:
[root@ov300 ~]# yum update

CET.
Dependencies resolved.

Is this ok [y/N]:
Current version:
[root@ov300 ~]# rpm -q ansible
ansible-2.9.16-2.el8.noarch
[root@ov300 ~]#
Any suggestions on what is the right thing to do? Why the ansible package
was not updated and why it was not put into a sort of black list if it is
correct to do so?
Thanks,
Gianluca
