XZ symbol problem on Fedora 27 affects OS dep checking

[verdurin]

I've encountered an issue with XZ symbols on a Fedora 27 host, very similar to #4036

== 2017-12-12 19:47:17,731 run.py:478 DEBUG cmd "rpm -q libopenssl-devel" exited with exitcode 1 and output:
rpm: /home/huffmaa/.local/easybuild/software/XZ/5.2.3-GCCcore-6.4.0/lib/liblzma.so.5: version `XZ_5.2' not found (required by /lib64/librpmio.so.8)

Possibly worth noting that this turns up in Fedora 33, too.

This also turns up in centos8, but not for os dep checkking, but when using FPM when running --package

When the XZ package is loaded dnf also breaks e.g.

[eb@eb ~]$ dnf whatprovides /lib64/librpmio.so.8

rebuilding XZ without the patch introduced in EB fixes this for rpm, but this then breaks the application (this error does not show up with the patch in place)

[eb@eb ~]$ module load tesseract
[eb@eb ~]$ tesseract

I think this might be fixed by not loading the module when creating the package?
