I've been running RHEL 8 since 8.0, I'm currently at 8.4 and this is what I have. # dnf provides '/usr/bin/python' Error: No Matches found # ls /usr/bin/python ls: cannot access '/usr/bin/python': No such file or directory # which python /usr/bin/which: no python in (/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin) On Fedora, it's rather simple, just look at the contents of python-unversioned-command Two files, no scripts or triggers. # rpm -ql python-unversioned-command /usr/bin/python /usr/share/man/man1/python.1.gz # ls -lh /usr/bin/python lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 9 May 18 03:48 /usr/bin/python -> ./python3 # ls -lh /usr/share/man/man1/python.1.gz lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 14 May 18 03:48 /usr/share/man/man1/python.1.gz -> ./python3.1.gz It looks like it will be very simple spec file. I'll probably just cut it out of the Fedora python spec file. Troy
