      cups has a new package dependency on python3, which is not necessary at all, only the dependency on /usr/libexec/platform-python is required, in order to execute post script /usr/sbin/upgrade_get_document.

       

      # rpm -q --requires -p ./cups-2.2.6-51.el8_8.1.x86_64.rpm  | grep python
      /usr/libexec/platform-python
      python3 

      This unneeded dependency got introduced by CVE-2023-32360 because of the unneeded new stanzas below:

      # for upgrade-get-document script
      %if %{with python3}
      Requires(post): python3
      %else
      Requires(post): python
      %endif 

      Please rebuild the package without this block.
