Now I see the issue is caused by p11 of this patch set. This test case
SstateTest.test_sstate_populate checks out another copy of isar inside
isar-sstate. Paths like "${TOPDIR}/../meta" were not mounted correctly, 
so the
python module cannot be found.

I just don't have an idea on how to fix this issue to keep both this 
test case
and SignatureTest working at the same time.
