The installation of a package will fail with an unclear error message "Package descriptor not found" when loading of a dependency fails due to a connection problem with the package repository.
At the time of writing this happens when trying to download dependencies from the package repository on exist-db.org due to an HTTPS downgrade (see https://github.com/eXist-db/public-repo/issues/74).
Expected behavior
A clear and concise error message stating that the repository was not available, misconfigured, which dependency could not be downloaded and from where.
The error should likely be handled in Deploy#load
but is not caught at that point.
To Reproduce
set the package repository URL in your packageservice to https://exist-db.org/exist/apps/public-repo
try to install any package that declares a dependency that is not yet met
See error
