[Avocado-devel] Avocado 0.31.0 multi user problems

[Olav Philipp Henschel]

Some extra info that might be useful.
I've tried setting the config file explicitly, and it looks like the 
--config parameter is not having any effect on vt-bootstrap:

$ sudo ./avocado/scripts/avocado --config 
avocado/etc/avocado/conf.d/pkvm.conf config
Config files read (in order):
     /home/powerkvm/ibm-kvm-tests/avocado/etc/avocado/avocado.conf
     /home/powerkvm/ibm-kvm-tests/avocado/etc/avocado/conf.d/gdb.conf
/home/powerkvm/ibm-kvm-tests/avocado/etc/avocado/conf.d/pkvm.conf
     avocado/etc/avocado/conf.d/pkvm.conf

     Section.Key                             Value
     datadir.paths.base_dir                  /home/olavph/avocado
     datadir.paths.test_dir /home/olavph/avocado/tests
     datadir.paths.data_dir /home/olavph/avocado/data
     datadir.paths.logs_dir /home/olavph/avocado/job-results
     ...

$ sudo ./avocado/scripts/avocado --config 
avocado/etc/avocado/conf.d/pkvm.conf vt-bootstrap --vt-type libvirt 
--vt-guest-os PowerKVM --yes-to-all
...

I have to run with sudo because I use the libvirt backend.
