Diversify the infamous "there are no packages available for installation" message

[FichteFoll]

It is probably not easy to do that, but the catch-all "something went wrong" message, that doesn't even tell you that in fact something did go wrong, is kind of tedious when looking for help or trying to help. It's the most obvious symptom of failure and doesn't tell you anything more than "it doesn't work", basically. Some details are available in the console and enabling the debug log most likely gives more insight, but the barrier of entry to this kind of error detection is too high from a user perspective.

I mean, the issue list should speak for itself:

And the absolutely irrelevant reports of users with the "same issue", bumping two-year-old and closed issues although it is clear that it's not the same issue at all and only shows the same poor symptoms, somehow infuriate me. Maybe you don't feel like that, but I wanted to put this out somewhere.
