I think it might be here or related:

This should be reproducible easily I'd think as comes from 
widely - as I understand - used VM management platform.
This is oVirt self hosted engine setup in a kvm-vm for which 
VM bare-metal host is Centos 9 Stream with everything 
up-to-dayte off the distro repos.
I'd imagine if you/anybody were to try to deploy 
current-stable oVirt node and attempted to deploy hosted 
engine - will hit this very issue/errors.

many thanks, L.
