#180 rpkg should give user a meaningful message when Kerberos authentication fails
Closed: Fixed 7 years ago Opened 7 years ago by cqi.

When no valid credential is ready in credential cache, some commands, e.g. new-sources would fail and report such message

Could not execute new_sources: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head>
<title>401 Unauthorized</title>
</head><body>
<h1>Unauthorized</h1>
<p>This server could not verify that you
are authorized to access the document
requested.  Either you supplied the wrong
credentials (e.g., bad password), or your
browser doesn't understand how to supply
the credentials required.</p>
</body></html>

Most of the time, this could confuse user and it might be difficult for user to know what happens and what should be done to fix this.
