I updated /usr/lib/rpm/brp-python-bytecompile to better cope with the python 2 vs python 3 split; this was in: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=531117 >From my reading, what's happening is that I coded it with the (incorrect) assumption that files exist which match $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/lib*/python*/ When at least one such file exists, I believe the shell expands the glob and thus we iterate over the library subdirectories, byte-compiling all .py files in them with the appropriate version of python. When no such directory exists, the shell fails to expand it, and retains it as the text string: your_build_root/usr/lib*/python*/ and thus one iteration of that loop happens, and we get the two error messages. So I believe this is harmless but messy. Filed as https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=539635 Sorry for any confusion.
