uploading a snap registered by somebody else shows the wrong error
Metadata
Current evaluation
Closed without a recorded fix. A 2017 update noted a clearer access error, but considered it insufficient because the message still exposed an internal "__all__" field.
Resolution: closed stale
Reason: No resolving PR, commit, release, or closing maintainer comment is documented. The issue received no activity after the 2017 observation and was eventually closed, consistent with stale cleanup.

Issue body
If I try to upload a snap registered by another user, I get the following error:
There has been a problem while analyzing the snap, check the snap and try to push again.
To reproduce:
Download and build the attached snapcraft.yaml
⟫ snapcraft upload integration_tests/snaps/basic/basic_0.1_all.snap
Uploading integration_tests/snaps/basic/basic_0.1_all.snap.

Error while processing...|
Uploaded 'basic'
There has been a problem while analyzing the snap, check the snap and try to push again.
The first problem here is that the snap is fully uploaded before the error is received. The second is that the only problem with the snap is the name. The error message mentions nothing about changing the name, or the claim form.
