Description John Sefler 2013-10-25 13:57:25 UTC
Description of problem:
This is NOT a repeatable error and is probably due to a candlepin server problem in stage.  Nevertheless there was a traceback and maybe an improvement can be made.  The error was logged during a nightly automation run.

 1008808: json ValueErrors have no .msg attribute

In cases where we expect a json body on an error
response, we try to parse it, and catch any exceptions
if it's not valid and ignore. Except we were attempting
to log the ValueError.msg, which doesn't exist, raising
an AttributeError.
