[Users] Problem with required packages when installing ovirt-engine

[Terry Phelps]

I'm new here, and am trying to install ovirt-engine, as documented on
ovirt.org/get-ovirt, and in the installation guide. I've worked with
RPM-based distributions (RHEL, Centos, Scientific Linux) for quite a
while, but have never worked with Fedora.

Please tell me what I'm doing wrong, or failing to do:

I am trying to install ovirt-engine on a newly-built Scientific Linux
6.1 (just like RHEL 6.1) machine. I did the "wget
...ovirt-engine.repo", and removed the classpathx-jaf RPM.

Then I tried to "yum install ovirt-engine", and got a number of errors:

Error: Package: ovirt-engine-tools-common-3.0.0_0001-1.6.fc16.x86_64

I'm suppose this means that I need newer versions of some packages
that are installed now, and these are not available in a yum repo that
my yum can see. The only change to the installed yum environment I
have made is to add the ovirt-engine repo. I don't see anything in the
docs about pointing to some Fedora repo, or some such thing, but
perhaps that's what I need to do.

Can someone please enlighten me?
