[ovirt-users] Cannot install ovirt-hosted-engine-setup as package has file conflicts in its dependancies

[Sam McLeod]

This started occurring on all new oVirt installs I've attempted to do on minimal CentOS 7 since 27/4.

I logged a bug for this on Bugzilla last week: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1572434 <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1572434>

The package ovirt-hosted-engine-setup depends on collectd, collectd-disk and collectd-write_http.

ovirt-hosted-engine-setup depends on the two collectd plugins which are provided by the ovirt-4.2-centos-opstools repo - but those two packages seem to provide files that are already included in the standard collectd package from epel (which the package also depends on).

Additionally, this conflict is not picked up until the packages are at the install phase, resulting in:

Transaction check error:
  file /usr/lib64/collectd/disk.so conflicts between attempted installs of collectd-disk-5.8.0-3.el7.x86_64 and collectd-5.8.0-3.el7.x86_64
  file /usr/lib64/collectd/write_http.so conflicts between attempted installs of collectd-write_http-5.8.0-3.el7.x86_64 and collectd-5.8.0-3.el7.x86_64
