One or more python scripts in your package contain this shebang: #!/usr/local/bin/python
Rpm is right to complain: If you tried to execute that file, it would fail because no such python interpreter exists on a normal Fedora installation. You need to locate + patch those files to refer to the system python path instead.
That's a fair amount of work. It's a lot easier if you run this command as root:
ln /usr/bin/python /usr/local/bin/python
Because that makes link that the b0rken rpms can all use.
Well, usually this method doesn't work - because (perhaps) "/usr/local/bin/python" is not installed by installing some rpm (but installed by compiling python package by sysadmin him/herself, for example), So, "/usr/local/bin/python" is not in rpm's database (rpm registers files' names or so only when they are installed from some rpm packages).
Then if you install a rpm package which has the dependency for "/usr/local/bin/python", rpm will still complain that such file is missing because such file is not in rpm's database, even if /usr/local/bin/python actually exists.
