Can we just ask Avocado maintainers to fix this problem on their
side to allow use of a modern hash alg as a priority item. We've
already had this problem in QEMU for over a year AFAICT, so doesn't
seem like we need to urgently do a workaround on QEMU side, so we
can get Avocado devs to commit to fixing it in the next month.
With regards,
Daniel
