Hello, I am trying to build some linked python packages in my project at [1]. Since a while some packages like gaupol [2] and protobuf are not building there anymore. Build fails with the following message on Leap 15.2:

error: syntax error in expression error: /home/abuild/rpmbuild/SOURCES/gaupol.spec:50: bad %if condition

Looking into the spec file for gaupol shows that there is the following if condition:

%if 0%{?python38_version_nodots}

Running rpm -E 0%{?python38_version_nodots} in the build environment for Leap 15.2 gives the following output:

0!!_%1_not_installed_!!

Trying it on my local Tumbleweed gives the expected 038. Current python-rpm-macros is linked to my project. The linked packages are building fine in the project where they are linked from. But I can not find the issue/reason why they are not building in my project. Can anyone help?
