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.
Nah, that was 'file 5.33' update (now differentiates between PIE executables and PIE shared objects), which required also rpmlint changes - but the sequence was not done in all cases. openSUSE:Factory has this long solved already again though (fixed this first thing in the morning on Monday) Cheers Dominique
