There is already a configuration directory for 'C**'. error on dirty shutdown

[micpalmia]

From this discussion I discovered that this issue is related to not shutting down correctly the container.

This is what I try to do (following the tutorial):

• add the path to test in the config file
• sudo rce-make + rosmake Test
• rce-master
• sudo rce-container localhost
• rce-robot localhost
• rce-ros debug.cfg

At this point I get various There is already a configuration directory for 'C100'.. After this error, trying to shut everything down and restarting again gives a OSError: [Errno 17] File exists: '/opt/rce/container/rootfs/opt/rce/packages/test' Could not setup the rce environment.

In order to solve the first error, the configuration and data files previously created have to be manually removed. These files can be found under /opt/rce/container/data and /opt/rce/container/config. A more useful error message could be served (at least saying where these files are).

The second problem can be solved deleting the test folder from inside /opt/rce/packages in the rce filesystem (i.e. in the /opt/rce/container/rootfs or wherever you installed it)
