Comment 1 for bug 651534

Description of problem:

When an attempt is made to build a package containing python code, rpm steps in and runs a script called /usr/lib/rpm/brp-python-bytecompile.

rpmbuild then tries to add a dependency on python in the form of a hard dependency on /usr/local/bin/python.

Any attempt to install the resultant rpm fails, as /usr/local/bin/python does not exist.

(The package that contains python code is a java application running python through jython, and so no dependency on python is necessary or desired).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

rpm-build-4.4.2.3-9.el5

How reproducible:

- Create a spec file for a package containing python code, but do not depend on python.

- Build the package and try to install it:

error: Failed dependencies:
 /usr/local/bin/python is needed by package-0.0.0.noarch
