Description Petr Viktorin (pviktori) 2023-11-15 13:28:35 UTC 
This file in the `flatpak-builder-tests` package has a python2 shebang, which makes RPM automatically generate a requirement on /usr/bin/python2:

   /usr/libexec/installed-tests/flatpak-builder/testpython.py

Note that Python 2 is deprecated in Fedora, requirements for it should not be added.

Please either
- remove/change the shebang
- remove the file (and anything that needs it) or
- filter out the automatic dependency like this:

  %global __requires_exclude ^/usr/bin/python2$

  (see https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/AutoProvidesAndRequiresFiltering/#_filtering_provides_and_requires_after_scanning . I haven't tested the suggestion.)

Thanks!

Reproducible: Always
