[Bug 1346388] [NEW] bad error message when forgetting --click

[Martin Pitt]

Public bug reported:

badpkg: got 3 lines of results from extract where 5 expected
adt-run [18:00:22]: ERROR: erroneous package: got 3 lines of results from extract where 5 expected

This should get a better error message. In this case the user meant
--click. adt-run cannot know that, but it could at least say directly
that "com.ubuntu.notes" does not exist as an apt source package.
