Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
this happens on two osp versions, OSP8:
> openstack-selinux.noarch         0.8.14-15.el7ost       @rhelosp-8.0-puddle
> selinux-policy.noarch            3.13.1-229.el7         @rhelosp-rhel-7.6-server
and in case of OSP9:
> openstack-selinux.noarch             0.8.14-15.el7ost   @rhelosp-9.0-puddle     
> selinux-policy.noarch                3.13.1-229.el7     @rhelosp-rhel-7.6-server


How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:
1. on rhel-7.6 machine add RHOSP-8 repositories
2. install python-tripleoclient
