Message215589
The error message from the title is not very intuitive from a user point of view. For instance, in the following traceback, only the first one gives a meaning to this error, through the leaked KeyError, thus the user knows that home_dir1 is invalid and missing. But the second message with "Bad value substitution" doesn't emphasize the actual problem and you have to stare at it for a couple of moments to figure out what's happening and why. Maybe changing the "Bad value substitution" with a "Missing value" would suffice. This came up in issue19546.
