[ovirt-devel] Broken dependencies of vdsm packages

[Jakub Niedermertl]

I have IIUIC installed the latest version of ovirt-imageio:

$ sudo dnf list installed ovirt-imageio\*
Last metadata expiration check: 0:19:43 ago on Mon Feb  6 12:05:50 2017.
Installed Packages
ovirt-imageio-common.noarch 1.0.0-0.201702052103.git89ae3b4.fc25
@ovirt-experimental
ovirt-imageio-daemon.noarch 1.0.0-0.201702052103.git89ae3b4.fc25
@ovirt-experimental

Details on broken dependencies:
$ sudo dnf update --best
Last metadata expiration check: 0:20:21 ago on Mon Feb  6 12:05:50 2017.
Error: package vdsm-cli-4.20.0-261.gitabb73a5.fc25.noarch requires
vdsm-client = 4.20.0-261.gitabb73a5.fc25, but none of the providers
can be installed.
package vdsm-cli-4.20.0-261.gitabb73a5.fc25.noarch requires
vdsm-python = 4.20.0-261.gitabb73a5.fc25, but none of the providers
can be installed
(try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages)

$ sudo dnf update --best --allowerasing
Last metadata expiration check: 0:21:33 ago on Mon Feb  6 12:05:50 2017.
Error: package vdsm-cli-4.20.0-261.gitabb73a5.fc25.noarch requires
vdsm-client = 4.20.0-261.gitabb73a5.fc25, but none of the providers
can be installed

So it looks like vdsm-cli (already installed) has dependency on older
version of vdsm-client, preventing vdsm-client from update.
