Hello,

I have the same issue issue with my oVirt v4.5.x system installed by following 
the oVirt official installation document at 
https://www.ovirt.org/download/install_on_rhel.html

The oVirt hosts are Rocky Linux v8.6. When trying to upgrade the oVirt hosts 
using oVirt's webadmin GUI or by executing the "yum upgrade" command on the 
oVirt hosts, it fails due to a dependency issue. 

"Problem 1: cannot install the best update candidate for package 
vdsm-4.50.2.2-1.el8.x86_64
  - nothing provides qemu-kvm >= 15:6.2.0-11.module+el8.6.0+16360+9e5d914e.4 
needed by vdsm-4.50.3.4-1.el8.x86_64"

The oVirt package vdsm-4.50.3.4-1.el8.x86_64 requires 
qemu-kvm-6.2.0-11.module+el8.6.0+16360+9e5d914e.4 or newer, whereas Rocky Linux 
provides  qemu-kvm-6.2.0-11.module+el8.6.0+1052+ff61d164.6.

For the qemu-kvm package, even though their version numbers are exactly the 
same (6.2.0-11.module+el8.6.0), dnf/yum thinks that the "1052" build number for 
RockyLinux is older than the 16360 build number required for 
vdsm-4.50.3.4-1.el8.x86_64.

When I chatted with Rocky Linux developers, they've explained me that this 
issue's caused by how the vendor (oVirt) developers pack their software and 
setting out build requirements. OVirt packages uses the exact version numbers, 
including the build numbers, which increment on each module build. 
Unfortunately, Red Hat has a higher increment than all the EL8 derivatives.

Is it possible to solve this issue if you (oVirt developers) are able to re-set 
the requirements without using any build numbers (by only saying BuildRequires: 
qemu-kvm >= 6.2.0-11) to increase the compatibility with the other Enterprise 
Linux operating systems?

Thank you
Erkan E
