rpmUtils is part of yum itself, in the yum libraries. miniyum is part of otopi.
It was:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1724056
But only for 4.4 (the next version).
Otopi seems to generate a tarball on the host that runs the wizard from, which is
then forwarded to the hosted-engine VM for execution. In that context a version comparison
function (something like "CompareEVR") fails to execute, because that requires
rpmUtils to be loaded. To my shame I am not a Python programmer, but it seems to be
late-binding, which may be why it's not universally failing at the import of the
rpmUtils, but only when Compare..EVR is called.
Tracing what's going on in the dynamic context of a Pyhon program executing from an
tarball, that's just been sent over an SSH wire to a VM that lies in agony... is a bit
steep, especially because it takes an hour to recreate the circumstances.
Perhaps I'd volunteer to try 4.4 early instead ;-)
If you want a minimal installation, that already includes exactly what's
needed, you can also use ovirt-node :-)
The oVirtNodes work just fine and that's what I fell back on early, when I wasn't
sure about the cause.
But one usage scenario involves big machine learning compute hosts running Nvidia
workloads on V100 GPUs in Docker containers (or basically bare metal), while some support
workloads would be managed in an oVirt corner on those same hosts.
It basically anticipates where oVirt wants to go, mixing scale-in and scale-out workloads
under one management framework.
It's also necessary, as many current ML capable GPUs aren't actually supported
inside virtual machines for market segmentation reasons.
If you still want to, you can open a bug, and attach all relevant
logs, including yum log and something like:
lastid=$(yum history | awk '/|/ && $1 ~ /[0-9]/ {print $1; exit}')
for id in $(seq $lastid); do
echo === ID $id ===
yum history info $id
done
Very well, you can still use some file upload service. I never used
the web interface for the users@ mailing list, no idea how it looks
like.
I believe the bug tracker has a native attachment facility: I was just
slightly confused that I might see a different UI than everybody else.
Best regards,
Likewise and thanks for your encouraging help so far!
