existing /var/tmp/fatsam.test breaks the test suite

We can't generate the name due to the mechanics of the config system (the path is read from the config file, not generated at runtime, and changing this would introduce a whole host of other issues such as how to tell the suprocess what it should be using, how to test that read-from-the-config file actually works when the test suites don't do that, etc.)

The LibrianTestSetup should nuke it if it exists.

At a glance, this hasn't been fixed yet. Whose job is it?

Stuart says it doesn't happen very often, which means that it's not a particularly high priority.

Plus, the fact that PQM now runs tests in a chroot should prevent it from happening altogether.

I thought spiv said he'd look into this. spiv?

I believe this part of LibrarianTestSetup means this was already fixed:

    def setUpRoot(self):
        if os.path.isdir(self.root):
            shutil.rmtree(self.root)
        os.makedirs(self.root, 0700)
