----------------------------------------

It's supposed to be the case, but there's definitely a bug.

> based on http://stackoverflow.com/questions/41092687/how-to-see-why-bundle-requirements-are-not-fulfilled-in-apache-felix-log/ :
> Isn't it a bug that File Install silently "swallows" (ignore, drops; does not log) any issues thrown when it (re)loads bundle and bundle.start() them?
> Or are there valid use cases and reasons I'm missing why this "sinking" of bundle load errors may be intentional?
> It's definitely a PITA to discover e.g. load issues by having to manually go into a Console, and lb and start - instead of just seeing them in the log.
> Would a code contribution proposing a fix for this be welcome?
