when this file exists.

K I see the problem. This file is global. Because this test is global. Our
test is per user.

This has to be an additional mechanism that doesn't get overridden by the
existence of this file.

might prevent it from working is the cache that the test keeps in /tmp. If
it found your system to be capable of running Unity (3D) it keeps a file in
/tmp named /tmp/unity_support_test.0. If you ran the script before
installing the package, then this file might cause the test to pass.
