+# We put a fake "pycryptopp-0.5.17" package on the PYTHONPATH so that
+# the build system thinks pycryptopp-0.5.17 is already installed. Then
+# we execute run_trial.py. If the build system is too naive/greedy
+# about finding dependencies, it will latch onto the
+# "pycryptopp-0.5.17" and then will be unable to satisfy the
+# requirement (from _auto_deps.py) for pycryptopp >= 0.5.20. This is
+# currently happening on trunk, see #1190. So with trunk, running
+# test-with-fake-pkg.py shows a failure, but with the ticket1190
+# branch, test-with-fake-pkg.py succeeds.
