[ovirt-users] Unable to upgrade ovirt-engine 3.5.5 to 3.6.1 on EL6

[Frank Wall]

Hi,

I've just tried to upgrade my ovirt-engine 3.5.5 which is still running on EL6,
but it failed due to a dependency error regarding slf4j:

# engine-setup

I've followed the upgrade guide [1], and yes, I'm aware that AiO is no longer
supported on EL6 [2], but this is just my Hosted-Engine VM, *not* an AiO host.
So I thought it would still work. 

I haven't attached any further logs, because this error is really obvious I
guess. These are the currently installed oVirt packages:
