I'm packaging pylint for python2 on centos8 and it builds fine but will not install. (Yes I know python2 is end of life - working on it)

At least on EL8, python2 will be supported for a number of years still. Obviously, moving to python3 is still the wise plan. :)

mock is used to do the builds.

Here is what happens with I do the dnf install:

# dnf install -y ods-python-pylint Last metadata expiration check: 0:19:59 ago on Fri 13 Mar 2020 16:22:30 UTC. Error: Problem: conflicting requests

• nothing provides /usr/bin/python needed by ods-python-pylint-1.9.3-2.noarch

(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)

And this is what rpm thinks are the requirements:

$ rpm -qpR ods-python-pylint-1.9.3-2.noarch.rpm ods-python-astroid ods-python-backports.functools_lru_cache ods-python-configparser ods-python-enum34 ods-python-futures ods-python-isort ods-python-lazy-object-proxy ods-python-mccabe ods-python-singledispatch ods-python-wrapt python(abi) = 2.7 python2 python2-six rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1 rpmlib(FileDigests) <= 4.6.0-1 rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1 rpmlib(PayloadIsXz) <= 5.2-1

Anyone know where is the /usr/bin/python coming from or how I can debug this?

I would guess it's from a shebang in one of the scripts within the package. But I don't know what's in the ods-python-pylint package so I can only guess.

I fixed up all the shebangs to be #!/usr/bin/python2.7 and that did not fix it.

Then I rm'ed all the files with a '#!' in the first line.

Then I rm'ed the egg stuff (I think the find_requires logic can dig something out of it)

What I expected to use is rpm -q -R would print the /usr/bin/python requirement, but it does not.
