Note: someone who knows python should sanity check the command.
So, it turns out that the script runs in a CHROOT'd environment
of /mnt/sysimage -- this means that any reference to / will
do the wrong thing.
Can you please revert the changes I made?
I submit the following as a slightly cleaner way to do the whole
thing in python that won't actually require anyone to change
anything in this script or extraneous files when they copy in
new RPMS -- basically, it figures out which athena version it
is on its own (we hope):
