## Observation
https://gitlab.suse.de/openqa/osd-deployment/-/jobs/1794346#L9197 shows
```
Minions returned with non-zero exit code
openqaworker1.qe.nue2.suse.org:
Minion did not return. [No response]
```
## Acceptance criteria
* **AC1:** All OSD salt controlled machines are ensured to not be affected by unresponsive salt-minion https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1212816, i.e. the salt-minion backport+package lock is applied to all salt controlled machines
## Suggestions
* Research how to backport + package lock in salt recipes, e.g. start with https://docs.saltproject.io/en/latest/ref/modules/all/salt.modules.zypperpkg.html or ask experts in chat (but be careful not be drawn into a "just install SUSE Manager" discussion)
* Add instructions to salt to ensure the salt-minion package is backported and package locked
* As alternative consider another separate repo that has the backported/fixed version and is applied to all salt controlled machines (*not* devel:openQA as this is a salt problem, not openQA machine specific)
