Ran into the following with pkispawn when the system and admin cert are ecc:

pkispawn : ERROR ....... subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '['certutil', '-R', '-d', '/opt/pki-cfu-ecc3/ca/alias', '-s', 'cn=PKI Administrator,e=caadmin@Example.com,o=pki-cfu-ecc3.org', '-g', 'nistp256', '-z', '/opt/pki-cfu-ecc3/ca/alias/noise', '-f', '/opt/pki-cfu-ecc3/ca/password.conf', '-o', '/opt/pki-cfu-ecc3/ca/alias/admin_pkcs10.bin']' returned non-zero exit status 255!

Two issues I observed:
(1) the key type is not specified; by default, if not specified, rsa is assumed; It needs
-k ec
(2) key curve needs to use "-q" to specify, not "-g" (which is for rsa key size). It needs
-q
