manylinux wheel: bundled libfreetype missing FT_Palette_Data_Get → ImportError on slim images

[woosun]

Environment

• rhwp-python==0.8.1 (cp310-abi3 manylinux_2_17_x86_64 wheel)
• python:3.12-slim (Debian bookworm) Docker container, linux/amd64

Symptom

>>> import rhwp
ImportError: /usr/local/lib/python3.12/site-packages/rhwp/_rhwp.abi3.so: undefined symbol: FT_Palette_Data_Get

Diagnosis

• ldd _rhwp.abi3.so resolves freetype to the bundled rhwp_python.libs/libfreetype-c0e61f0c.so.6 (no system libfreetype in slim image)
• The bundled libfreetype does not export FT_Palette_Data_Get (checked via strings — 0 matches), while _rhwp.abi3.so references it
• Looks like the auditwheel-repaired wheel bundles an older freetype than the one the Rust core was linked against

Workaround

Falling back to a pure-Python parser in our pipeline for now — not blocking us, just reporting. Thank you for the great bindings!
