RequiredPackageNotInstalled: Missing packages: ['qemu-kvm', 'qemu-kvm-rhev'].

[ssbarnea]

ontap select 9.3 deploy host configure ... fails on CentOS Linux release 7.4.1708 (Core) while wrongly reporting two packages as missing, even if they are installed:

HostInfoErr: Error in retrieving information for host "leno". 
Reason: HostSupportInformationErr : Unable to retrieve host information for host "leno", Error: [36] 
RequiredPackageNotInstalled: Missing packages: ['qemu-kvm', 'qemu-kvm-rhev'].

I did yum install qemu-kvm qemu-kvm-rhev on that host and I am 100% sure the packages are installed.

Initially another package was reported as missing lshw but after installing it, it was recognized.

I think that yum install output may explain why ONTAPDeploy gets confused, but I am not sure how to fix it:

yum install qemu-kvm-rhev qemu-kvm

Package 10:qemu-kvm-1.5.3-141.el7_4.6.x86_64 is obsoleted by 10:qemu-kvm-ev-2.9.0-16.el7_4.14.1.x86_64 which is already installed
Nothing to do

I have the confirmation that this caused by bug in installer. An ugly way to avoid it was to build and force install a fake rpm:

cat qemu-kvm.spec<<EOF
Summary: fake qemu kvm
Name: qemu-kvm
Version: 0
Release: 0

rpmbuild -bb qemu-kvm.spec
rpm -i --nodeps /root/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/qemu-kvm-0-0.x86_64.rpm
