I think there is a miss-understanding on my end that side-stepped the main issue. Before I begin, I'd like to point out that I have a number of oVirt 4.3 deployments in production.

Some installed via cockpit, others manually via hosted-engine --deploy. I'm attempting to cleanly test-install 4.4 on a CentOS 8.x machine before I begin (slowly) upgrading my existing 4.3 setups to 4.4.

However, when trying to install 4.4 on the test CentOS 8.x (now 8.2 after yesterday release), either manually (via hosted-engine --deploy) or by using cockpit, fails when trying to download packages (see attached logs) during the hosted engine deployment phase.

The reason I mocked around with the java module (on the host) was in an attempt to see if the _host_ machine somehow had the wrong module configuration, triggering the hosted engine deployment process.

Just to be clear, it is the hosted engine VM (during the deployment process) that fails to automatically download packages, _not_ the host.

Sorry again for the misunderstanding.
