Strange third party source deploy exception

[Brandon Goodin <br...@gmail.com>]

When trying to deploy src to my own repo I received the following output. It
looks like the source is properly uploaded. But, the exception has left me
wondering if everything is complete and what the exception is claiming
failed. Anyone have any insight? NOTE: identifying information has been
changed for security (i.e. somejar, somerepo, somedomain are not real).
