Sorry, forgot that the package providing the invalid value might not be
available if problems happened and was finally not installed. In this case,
there is no available info about ${package}->${value} relationship and
${package} is not known.

  To fix this error, reinstall (or install) the package that provides
  "${value}".

experimental branch. Unless further changes are proposed, they will go
in next upload.

Thanks for your feedback
