Description Juergen Kindler CLA 2010-02-12 02:04:44 EST 
When the installation using provinstall on the OSGi console fails, there may be only a minimal message like "installation failed Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.".

Unfortunately this does not give users any hint about the underlying reason of the failure.

To fix this the command should print the message of the IStatus AND of its children in case of an error.
