Hi,
not sure what was the idea of ovirt developers, but current text in
https://ovirt.org/download/install_on_rhel.html suggests 'RHEL 8.6 exactly'
rather
than 'RHEL 8.6 or above' and I think there is probably no eg. CI that tested
RHEL 8.7/RHEL 8.8
Anyway, assuming that you have a test system it might be worth to try upgrading
to RHEL 8.8
For the problem below it sounds that you should delete
centos-stream-release-8.6-1.el8.noarch first, then do yum update, then install
centos-stream-release-8.6-1.el8.noarch with parameters given in the page
above/given by me below (you probably did that during initial installation)
For me it looks that idea is like this:
-ovirt doesn't actually need centos-stream-release-8.6-1.el8.noarch
when it is installed on RHEL: as the name suggests
centos-stream-release-8.6-1.el8.noarch is incompatible with any other
distribution except CentOS Stream
-in page above the installation of rpm -i --justdb --nodeps --force
"http://mirror.centos.org/centos/8-stream/BaseOS/$(rpm --eval
'%_arch')/os/Packages/centos-stream-release-8.6-1.el8.noarch.rpm"
which basically just a patch for ovirt to think that it works on top of CentOS
stream (that is, --justdb and --nodeps parameters)
I would guess that this patch is only needed during installation of oVengine
(or, restore from backup/disaster recovery)
BR,
Konstantin

After applying RHEL updates for the recent upgrade from 8.7 to 8.8, I started
getting some package problems on my oVirt engine and hosts.
Perhaps someone can help me figure out what is going on.
Environment:
oVirt 4.5.4-1.el8
Stand alone engine - Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 8.7 (Ootpa)
RHEL hosts - Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 8.7 (Ootpa)
# yum update
Updating Subscription Management repositories.

Nothing to do.
Complete!
I've applied the https://ovirt.org/download/install_on_rhel.html
<https://ovirt.org/download/install_on_rhel.html> suggestions.
When I try to "Install nightly oVirt master snapshot" as suggested, I also get
an error:
