Description of problem:The latest update introduced by https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=662755 breaks support for using python-pygments with python2.4 which comes with base, forcing the user to install python26 from epel even if they are not interested in having a dual python installation Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):1.4.1 How reproducible:yum install python-pygments Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: mirror.ufs.ac.za * epel: mirror.bytemark.co.uk * extras: mirror.ufs.ac.za * updates: mirror.ufs.ac.za Setting up Install Process Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package python-pygments.noarch 0:1.4-1.el5 set to be updated --> Processing Dependency: python(abi) = 2.6 for package: python-pygments --> Processing Dependency: python26-imaging for package: python-pygments --> Processing Dependency: python26-distribute for package: python-pygments --> Running transaction check ---> Package python26.x86_64 0:2.6.5-6.el5 set to be updated --> Processing Dependency: libpython2.6.so.1.0()(64bit) for package: python26 ---> Package python26-distribute.noarch 0:0.6.10-4.el5 set to be updated ---> Package python26-imaging.x86_64 0:1.1.7-4.el5 set to be updated --> Running transaction check ---> Package python26-libs.x86_64 0:2.6.5-6.el5 set to be updated --> Finished Dependency Resolution Dependencies Resolved ================================================================================================================================================================================ Package Arch Version Repository Size ================================================================================================================================================================================ Installing: python-pygments noarch 1.4-1.el5 epel 1.3 M Installing for dependencies: python26 x86_64 2.6.5-6.el5 epel 6.5 M python26-distribute noarch 0.6.10-4.el5 epel 510 k python26-imaging x86_64 1.1.7-4.el5 epel 478 k python26-libs x86_64 2.6.5-6.el5 epel 692 k Transaction Summary ================================================================================================================================================================================ Install 5 Package(s) Upgrade 0 Package(s) Total size: 9.4 M Is this ok [y/N]: Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum install python-pygments 2. 3.

Additional info: The spec file is broken, because python26 support should be in the python26-pygments package not in the python-pygments.
Additional info: rpm -q --requires -p python-pygments-1.4-1.el5.noarch.rpm /usr/bin/python python(abi) = 2.4 python(abi) = 2.6 python-imaging python-setuptools python26-distribute python26-imaging rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1 rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1 Thats not right, it should not require any python26 packages.
