The internal dependency generator finds three python items in the 
buildroot and does provides + requires discovery on each, thats where 
the six python-not-founds come from.

In this case it's cosmetical, in some other cases it could cause missing 
dependencies (in which case it'd be good to at least get a warning in the 
log, instead of just silently omitting the dependencies).

The issue doesn't exist on rawhide as the dependency extraction is done 
without requiring python interpreter to be available. The new method could 
be pulled into F11/F12 too but doesn't seem worth the trouble: the 
possibility of getting these errors has existed for 5+ years already.
