Hello.,

Scenario: Upgrading from 4.3 to 4.4

Please provide more details. How do you upgrade?

Do you follow some document/procedure? Which? At which point are you in?
 

Situation: When running engine-setup on the new (standalone) engine host I hit

2021-10-28 18:30:47,998+0800 DEBUG otopi.context context._executeMethod:127 Stage boot METHOD otopi.plugins.otopi.packagers.yumpackager.Plugin._boot
2021-10-28 18:30:47,999+0800 DEBUG otopi.plugins.otopi.packagers.yumpackager yumpackager._boot:187 Cannot initialize miniyum

Please check/share the setup log.

Generally speaking, otopi does not try to init yum, unless dnf failed to init.

I guess going forward we should completely remove yum support. It was left over from the time where we supported both. This would not have solved your current problem, only output a different error message.

Thanks and best regards,

I am trying this on a AlmaLinux 8 host; I see that otopi actually has hardcoded strings like "fedora" " centos" etc.
I have set OTOPI_DNF_ENABLE=1 and so far have made it to the "Please confirm installation settings" phase.

My bad - sorry for the noise.

Just curious: will this affect installing hosts and general oVirt 4.4 operations like upgrades?
So far so good... I will reach back if it hits other issues.
