My suggestion is to adjust the error message so that it clearly explains
the situation.
Many programs sometimes report an error with an error message
that doesn't tell the user what is wrong. It is worth some effort
to make our error messages explain clearly to users what the problem is
and what caused it. That way, they can tell what to do.
