libcomps or createrepo_c on CentOS 7 / RHEL 7 (and most likely 8.)
Solution: Document python build dependencies that must be installed.
(I cannot find the exact bug, but when you use system-wide packages,
upgrading the venv pip will not suffice. It still tries to use the
system-wide old pip for some functions anyway, and auto-installing
build deps will fail.)
fixes: #5841
