Based on:

https://github.com/avocado-framework/avocado-vt/pull/2221/files#diff-0f7067c31caedf7df2739c9b07efa122R34

      # When installing from source, pip tries to install at
      # /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ and fails with:
      # [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/test-easy-install-78.write-test'
      # workaround is to add "--prefix /"

Let's double check that this is an easy-install "condition" and file a bug in the appropriate place.

Is it still valid? I could not reproduce.

Cirrus CI: drop editable requirements from GIT based installs
4c21c5e 
Turns out that the "-e" option is not a requirement for installations
from GIT.  The side effect of having that flag, is that a "python
setup.py develop" ended up being called, which did not create the
necessary directories and caused the failures in the comments:

   # When installing from source, pip tries to install at
   # /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ and fails with:
   # [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/test-easy-install-78.write-test'

Without '-e', a common installation occurs, and that failure is no
longer present.

Closing as there's no fix needed here, as explained in avocado-framework/avocado-vt#2691
