Bug Description

Binary package hint: rpm

This causes python2.6 to be installed, even when the rest of the packages are content with using python 2.7.
Is this a mistake in packaging?

So surely either python 2.6 or 2.7 would suffice.

Right now the python-rpm package dependencies list both libpython2.6 and libpython2.7 as depends. That is too much.

Okay, actually the problem is that python module links with libpython, what should not be the case, fix commited.
