They are still broken. Yum and rpm are not aware of changes made outside
the package process structure. You likely had to do bad things to rpm to
make these packages install in the first place.

Yep. If you got here, it's likely that you ended up using --force to
install the package. This is a clear sign you're making a terrible
mistake. CentOS 7 has python 2.7. Your packages need the python 2.6
structure. There are a great many differences between the versions, so
creating symlinks is not really going to help matters.

You're actively subverting the package manager, rather than addressing
the issue. To fix this properly you would need to find a repository
which contains these packages, built for CentOS 7. Linking won't fix this.
