I'm running into just this sort of issue this with python2 modules and
Samba libraries, such as libldb, libtevent, libtalloc, and libtdb for
Samba 4.11rc1 The necessary modern visions of all of those libraries
are no longer copatible with python2. Compiling them for Fedora 30 and
RHEL 7 means that the old python2 modules are still present for
dependencies in mock, and hilarity ensues, *unless* the python3
modules are configured to "Obsolete" the python2  modules.
