This was a bug in our spec file for rhel7. I fixed that few minutes ago
but this is not severe enough problem to rebuild package because verify
is completely optional like all python scripts in Libreswan. If you want
to use verify, do:

sed -i -e 's|python2|/usr/bin/python2|' /usr/libexec/ipsec/verify

Bug was introduced as part of 4.2 release.
