My previous (wrong) procedure to restore old version was:
rhevm-cleanup, yum remove rhevm\*, rm -rf $dirs, yum install rhevm\*,
tar xvzpf /backup.tgz, ./restore.sh for DB...
which was not fully correct as I haven't
known /etc/yum/plugin.d/versionlock.list is touched by rhevm-setup as
well and thus yum was working very strange during next normal
upgrade.
