Builds in EESSI/software-layer#1862 are failing, because tests are apparently picking up binaries from the original installation, which is not wiped yet. Let's see if this will solve it.
Note: if it does, this needs some additional checks, and it should only be done in certain cases. Just kept it simple for now to be able to test it.The hook always runs, but I've added some safeguards: it only removes the existing dir if
--rebuildused, the dir already exists and is non-empty, and it requires you to set$EESSI_FORCE_EARLY_REMOVAL_OF_INSTALL_DIR=1. I've done the latter inEESSI-install-software.sh, but only for rebuilds, and only if the installpath starts with/cvmfs(to make sure that e.g. site builds on top of CVMFS also use this).
