52	test-from-egg and test-from-prefixdir are sometimes not testing the right code	davidsarah		"There is currently nothing to ensure that the test-from-egg and test-from-prefixdir steps of pycryptopp builds aren't subject to the same bug as http://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/1137 .

Fixing this probably just requires updating [source:misc/build_helpers/run_trial.py] to reflect http://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/browser/misc/build_helpers/run_trial.py (which I believe is already generic enough to handle the pycryptopp build setup).

This would allow detecting failures like [http://tahoe-lafs.org/buildbot/builders/Kyle%20OpenBSD-4.6%20amd64/builds/405/steps/test-from-prefixdir/logs/stdio this one], rather than silently testing the wrong code. (I don't have specific evidence that the current pycryptopp builders are testing the wrong code, but we didn't know that the Tahoe-LAFS builders were until recently.)"	defect	closed	major		0.5.19	invalid	test setuptools
