Hello Swapna,

yes, it changed a lot. This issue is due to old stevedore module shipped 
by epel. Fix was already merged:

https://github.com/avocado-framework/avocado/pull/930

but not yet included in RPM. Next RPMs should be built next week. Until 
then please use one of the workarounds:

A) use pip to update stevedore
   1. install avocado and python-pip
   2. run pip install stevedore --upgrade
B) build your own rpm
   1. clone the repository (shallow clone should do)
   2. make rpm
   3. install the built rpm
C) use the latest master from git
   1. clone the repository (shallow clone should do)
   2. make requirements
   3. make install
D) use older avocado version

I'm sorry about this issue, it was not detected on Fedora 23 as it 
contains newer stevedore.

Kind regards,
Lukáš
