Description Miles Daffin

If the validation error is large then the error dialog is too big to fit on the screen! You cannot reach the details button. I think the main dialog should have a summary only of the error, e.g. 

Problems while verifying configuration: win32,win32,x86: conflict|missing dependency etc. (This would involved parsing the error and deducing its type.)

The details section would then have the whole message. No sense in presenting it twice, especially when it sometimes has this effect.

Updating to critical since, if I want to move quickly, I rely on getting validation error diagnostic details from the error dialog details section. This is inaccessible on many occasions when working with lots of errors in a large aggregation (which is what I am dealing with). (I can use the error log - not blocking me.)

[Bookkeeping change only. Moving bugs to the new "home" of aggregator, CBI.
Made no changes to assignee's for closed bugs, even though some were old inbox.]
