Nothing to do.
Complete!

[root@template-packer ~]# cat /etc/centos-release
CentOS Linux release 8.0.1905 (Core)

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.

Target version changed from 5.0.16 to 5.0.17

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.
