Martin Vrachev 028d1bc9f7 Make "utils" import more definite
Currently, we are importing the "utils" module in tests/utils
with "import utils".
This could become a problem when there is another module with
the same general name "utils" and could lead to import mistakes.

test_mix_and_match_attack.py
<Author>
Konstantin Andrianov.
<Started>
March 27, 2012.
April 6, 2014.
Refactored to use the 'unittest' module (test conditions in code, rather
than verifying text output), use pre-generated repository files, and
discontinue use of the old repository tools. Modify the previous scenario
simulated for the mix-and-match attack. -vladimir.v.diaz

<Purpose>
Simulate a mix-and-match attack. In a mix-and-match attack, an attacker is
able to trick clients into using a combination of metadata that never existed
together on the repository at the same time.
Note: There is no difference between 'updates' and 'target' files.
