Any ideas why this fails and what the workaround is?

The error message seems rather clear:

Could NOT find Boost (missing: python) (found version "1.69.0")

well according to CMake, your Boost installation does not have the python module.

So two options:

1. if you're certain it should be present, try to find out why CMake doesn't find it
2. if it's not present, make sure to install it

Edit: from trying this out in a Docker container (fedora:32), it would appear the version suffix for Boost Python 1.69 on Fedora 32 needs to be python3.8.

So it seems this would need to be changed in cv_bridge/CMakeLists.txt, specifically these lines.
