Description

Latest Centos8 installed using CentOS-8-x86_64-1905-dvd1.iso.

Ran install script with :

This is due to /usr/bin/python not being installable anymore through dnf (can install either python2 or python3, and create an alternative instead).
Setting up the alternative doesn't help to install rudder-agent.

Thanks for reporting. As a workaround before the fix, you can use the 6.0 package that should work and is compatible with 5.0 servers.

This is most likely due to the lib auto-detection done by the rpm packaging which triggers on the python files in the agent.
Backporting our support for python3 scripts to 5.0 should fix the issue.
