Error message opaque when .testrepository files are unreadable

[Monty Taylor]

If the files in .testrepository are unreadable for some reason (such as tests having been written by root mode 600) then testr slowest unhelpfully prints:

local variable 'run_subunit_content' referenced before assignment

could you reproduce this with TESTR_PDB=1 and get a full backtrace? Thanks!

Hi, I got the same error. Traceback:
