When casting calibre, I'm getting this error:

Preparing to install calibre
castfs: checking sanity of <mnt-dir> and <stage-dir>
castfs: stagedir is okay!
Installing calibre into the stage
Dropping privileges to those of user: 1000
Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: No module named calibre.utils.config

I'm calling cast through sudo.  But I also attempted the same with "su
root", and got the same error.

As there was that group ID (1000) there, and being root, the only
think I could associate was the current directory.

Effectively I was calling cast under a non root user dir.  When doing
the cast from /root, everything worked, :-)

I haven't looked at the spell itself to suggest for a solution yet, :-)

But at least I know casting from a place owned by root:root works, :-)

Thanks,
