[jira] [Created] (MYNEWT-394) Improve error handling in newt tool

Sterling Hughes created MYNEWT-394:
--------------------------------------

             Summary: Improve error handling in newt tool
                 Key: MYNEWT-394
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYNEWT-394
             Project: Mynewt
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Newt
            Reporter: Sterling Hughes
            Assignee: Sterling Hughes
             Fix For: v1_0_0_beta1


When newt encounters errors, its messages are not always the most helpful.  

e.g. if you have two packages with the same name, it silently ignores all of them.

e.g. interface panic happens when you can't fetch a repository.yml file.

somebody should spend a couple of hours breaking repositories, and making sure that newt provides helpful error messages.
