I'm unclear from the text above just what is proposed to be removed - the entire RPM vs just the py2 sub-RPMs. > veillard > libxml2 > python2-libxml2 (→ PY2) In this case the libxml2.spec file builds all of the native library, py2 binding and py3 binding. Please do *NOT* remove the entire libxml2 package as this will kill the virtualization stack. Only the bits of specfile logic that build the py2 binding should be removed.
