Bug Description

Older versions of SimpleJson doesn't have the JSONDecodeError class which is simply a subclass of ValueError.

Fix: Fall back to catching ValueError instead to be backward compatible with old SimpleJson library.

Not really critical. We generally target software version available on Debian stable, which is already quite old. Stable offers simplejson 2.1, which this works on. Having it work on earlier versions is only nice-to-have.

Also, where the ref to the committed changeset?
