+Subject: [PATCH] Don't crash in _checkImageState if there's no image.os_plugin
+
+We've seen some tasks lately where Koji crashed trying to do
+`image.os_plugin.abort()`, e.g.:
+
+https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=89750587
+https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=89671944
+
+The fix seems fairly simple: only try and abort if os_plugin
+actually exists.
