Feature request to include charm revision number in upload error messages when a package already exists in the database. Maintainer acknowledged and opened snapstore-server bug 1987284; blocked on Charmhub API providing the revision in error responses. No activity in ~1 year.

Suggested action: keep open

Reason: Maintainer facundobatista acknowledged the request on 2022-08-22 and opened snapstore-server bug 1987284 to track the Charmhub-side change needed. The issue is blocked by an external dependency (Charmhub API must include revision in error responses), not abandoned. Code in store.py still passes through error messages verbatim without revision context, confirming the feature remains unimplemented.

Issue body

Is it possible to include charm revision as well if a charm upload fails with error message that says the package already exists in the database? Details: Uploaded a charm which resulted in Gateway Timeout ``` charmcraft upload --release latest/edge --name horizon-k8s horizon-k8s_ubuntu-20.04-amd64.charm Issue encountered while processing your request: [504] Gateway Time-out. Full execution log: '/home/hemanth/snap/charmcraft/common/cache/charmcraft/log/charmcraft-20220810-114700.938763.log' ``` Re-uploaded the charm which resulted in error with message package already exists. ``` charmcraft upload --release latest/edge --name horizon-k8s horizon-k8s_ubuntu-20.04-amd64.charm Upload failed with status 'rejected': - review-error: Cannot insert package. An upload with that digest (SHA3-384: '7058526548d07e54d68d8b19f23b89eb9697c3da543e4ab1f207e24f7399aeb214e0671086f9524730181844d993f6ba') already exists in the database. ``` Charmcraft CLI does not provide any mapping of charm revisions with the SHA. How to get the revision number of the charm that is just uploaded? Otherwise the simplest mechanism is to include the revision number in the error message that says 'already exist in the database'. Thoughts?
