That's weird. Can you check in yum.log (or yum history) if you ever
had it, and when/why it was removed?

Never appeared before..

If you try to, does it bring with it any dependencies?

 yes, 148 dependent packages....
See full output here, I didn't apply at the moment

Please note that this environment, external engine and CentOS hosts, was initially installed in 4.0.6 at beginning of 2017.
Donna if this can be of impact.


Generally speaking: ovirt-host is a meta-package, not providing any
content by itself, that depends on all the packages that we need on
oVirt hosts. It's installed by default in node (it's actually the main
means used to decide what to put there, other than base OS),
installed/updated by ovirt-host-deploy, etc.

So, yes, you should install it. If, when you try to install it, it
does not add any dependencies with it, then strictly speaking, you do
not have to, because it will do nothing (other than get rid of the
icon in the ui).

Up to 4.3.2 and initial 4.3.3 the hosts didn't get this kind of requirement.
It was a bug before or perhaps a problem introduced by the 4.3.3 async updates
