Bug Description
We were discussing the recent rash of errors folks are seeing when trying to upgrade. While debugging these, it came up that the ui reporting FileNotFound errors or SignatureErrors is probably not very helpful to the user. There's really not much they can do other than just try again. The error messages won't be helpful to us devs either - the log files contain all the gory details we need.
So Rick suggested that we file a bug to just tell the user to "Try again later" or some such.

Thanks for your bug report.
Matthew, do you have some idea on how we could better report backend errors to users?
