The agent packages shipped by the agent bakery may contain agent plugins that need a python interpreter on the target system. The Debian- and RPM-packages built by the agent bakery are now verifying that the python interpreter is installed as 'python' in the PATH and also verify that this python is Python 2.x. The later check is needed because the Python agent plugins are currently only Python 2.x compatible.
