Basically the same dependency error. I've attached the full output to this e-mail.

To answer your other questions:

> 16:43 <didi> fraenki: what happens when you try yum update slf4j?

It is not currently installed (on oVirt 3.5.5) and only the inappropiate version
is available:

# yum --showduplicates list slf4j
[...]
Available Packages
slf4j.noarch       1.5.8-8.el6              centos-base

> 16:44 <didi> fraenki: also for vdsm-jsonrpc-java

# yum update vdsm-jsonrpc-java
[...]

Error: Package: vdsm-jsonrpc-java-1.1.5-1.el6.noarch (ovirt-3.6)
           Requires: slf4j >= 1.6.1
           Available: slf4j-1.5.8-8.el6.noarch (centos-base)
               slf4j = 1.5.8-8.el6
[...]

Very similar (of not the same) output to the `yum update ovirt-engine` command.

Where should I get "slf4j >= 1.6.1" from? It does not seem to be available from
the "centos-base" repository (there's only slf4j = 1.5.8-8.el6 available):
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/os/x86_64/Packages/

> 16:46 <didi> fraenki: if it still fails for you after the usual things, e.g.
> yum clean all, check repos etc., I'll try to reproduce

Yeah, tried this. Already wiped my repos and reinstalled ovirt-release36.rpm.

FWIW, I've noticed that a more recent slf4j is available from the SL6 repo at:
http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/6x/external_products/maven/$basearch/
But I fear that this will break things in the long run (and it would replace 
several other packages as well, very likely to break ovirt-engine completely).

Yeah, I wasn't really expecting that an in-place upgrade EL6->EL7 would work
in this case. That's why I was thinking about the Backup/Restore method...
