Unfortunately the error message is currently rather abstruse, simply saying that "version generation failed" and even diving into the code doesn't directly show what's going on since there's several steps between the problem and it being observed. Provide an explicit hint as to the likely cause of a version generation failure to help anyone who runs into this in future more readily diagnose and fix the problem.
