[Bug 762634] Re: Bogus error message when auth failed

[Felix Geyer]

Thanks for providing a debdiff.

I have uploaded it with some minor changes:
- Changed distribution target to maverick-proposed. It gets copied to maverick-updates once it has been tested.
- Dropped "Update Maintainer field" from the changelog, no need to mention that.

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: josm
  
  When the authorization process fails, JOSM shows an "OAuth failed"
  message, even when no OAuth is involved.
  
  This will also cause problems when, from tomorrow, OSM servers will give
  a 403 if the contributor hasn't explicitely accepted/declined the new
  license that the project is adopting.
  
  Upstream has already released 4021, fixing the error message by
  including the response body in the dialog. This will hopefully make
  clearer what will happen from tomorrow to some users.
+ 
+ TEST CASE:
+ Prerequisite: You need an OSM account and haven't accepted the ODbL license.
+ 
+ - Upload changes to OSM.
+ - Get an error message saying that you need to accept the new license.
