The agent bakery was unable to build agent RPM packages because of the python environment could not be loaded properly for precompiling python files. As this is not needed for us, we have now disabled it for the RPMs created by the agent bakery.

We were able to reproduce this issue with CentOS and RedHat 6.x but other distributions and versions may also be affected. The current Ubuntu is not.
