But I've hit a package I'm having issues with, due to python vs python2/python3. qt5-qtwebengine For starters, it has a buildrequires for /usr/bin/python and is running "python <command>" in the %prep section.
Are you saying nothing in rhel8 provides /usr/bin/python ?
Nothing provides it. The reason given: nobody could agree what to do here[1].
The easy trick that I use for this is make a symlink to a custom path and add it to the PATH in the package build.
Something like this: mkdir -p .test-bin ln -sf /usr/bin/python2 .link-bin/python export PATH=$PWD/.link-bin:$PATH
This trick works if it's only a build-time requirement.
Alternatively, you can try to fix the shebangs everywhere...
Sorry, I mean "mkdir -p .link-bin" for the first command.
