BTW, the following PR was merged on aexpect:

https://github.com/autotest/aexpect/pull/17

Which renames the package to python-aexpect.  I have pushed an updated
version of it to the upstream YUM/DNF repo, and have dropped the
"aexpect" packages from it.

This will make things easier on the avocado SPEC file.

The next step is to drop the custom aexpect packages from the upstream repo.
