You should rpm rpmlint on the source rpm and final build rpms, not against the
spec file.  If you did that, you'd see:

python-utmp.x86_64: W: summary-ended-with-dot Python modules for umtp records.
python-utmp.x86_64: W: invalid-license Unlimited right to use, redistribute
python-utmp.x86_64: W: invalid-license modify.
python-utmp.x86_64: W: dangling-relative-symlink
/usr/share/doc/python-utmp-0.7/COPYING debian/copyright
python-utmp-debuginfo.x86_64: W: invalid-license Unlimited right to use,
redistribute
python-utmp-debuginfo.x86_64: W: invalid-license modify.

So:
Trim the dot from Summary:.

You cannot just invent a license tag (especially since the field has a syntax
which you are violating); you must use an approved one from
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing and if one doesn't fit then you must
contact the legal folks.  I'll let them know.

You need to actually install the text of the COPYING file, not just a symlink
that goes nowhere.


Legal folks, here's the license text:

License loosely modelled after Just van Rossum's Python-Powered LOGO
license:

Radovan Garabik, hereafter referred to as THE AUTHOR, herewith grants
you (THE USER) the right to use python-utmp (THE SOFTWARE).

Blah blah blah blah. Blah NO WARRANTIES blah blah EXPLICIT blah blah
blah blah OR IMPLIED blah blah blah. Blah.

Blah blah Unlimited Redistribution and Modification of THE SOFTWARE by
THE USER is Allowed by THE AUTHOR blah blah blah for Any Purpose blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah.

By Using THE SOFTWARE you Agree with this LICENSE blah blah blah blah.
Blah. Blah. Blah blah.

If you do not Agree with the LICENSE you should Better NOT Use
THE SOFTWARE.
