Recently, VirtualBox builds started failing with messages like

It seems a recent change in rpmlint has caused these failures.
I think changes in python. I hit that yesterday: https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/622940
The full distro should be rebuilt IMO. There are many hidden failures due to py 3.6 -> 3.7 change. Like this, gdb and others.
FTR the gdb change needed:
thanks,
oh - and python 3.7 is not yet in Factory/Tumbleweed - so this obviously cannot cause these errors Cheers Dominique
