[Ovirt-devel] PATCH: Remove qemu from node image

[Daniel P. Berrange]

The YUM dep solver for file deps is utterly stupid, and pulls in the older
'qemu' RPM when resolving /usr/bin/qemu-img, instead of the newer qemu-img
sub-RPM. Even if you explicitly have -qemu in the kickstart filelist. 

While we could just remove qemu in the %post script, this relies on yum
having installed qemu-img too - this happens to be the case by luck, but
we shouldn't rely on it.

The best workaround is to explicitly request  'qemu-img' in the kickstart
so it never has to go off and dep-solve for /usr/bin/qemu-img
