Bug Description

This is a follow-up to https://bugs.launchpad.net/tripleo/+bug/1635269 The underlying bug there was fixed, but it doesn't appear the error reporting was improved. In the interest of not tracking two separate but related problems in one bug I'm going to close that one and open this to track the error reporting part.

I'm not aware of any work having been done on this, but it's possible someone did it without attaching it to this bug.

To verify if this is fixed, we would need to come up with an error (or hack the client to cause one) that raises an exception on the client-side and see if the resulting output in non-debug mode is useful. Historically, it was not because it just dumped out the exception message. In some cases this was completely worthless. The linked bug printed an empty string, and I know there was a bug at one point where it raised a KeyError that just printed the missing key. _Some_ kind of additional information is needed in such situations.
