MalformedJsonException on getPkgs

[emilianbold]

The server response doesn't always have the expected format and we get MalformedJsonException:

Could you provide an example call to reproduce the issue?

[emilianbold]

That's all I got.

I suspect it's some error condition on the server side that gets converted into something that's not quite a JSON and has an "info" field?

[geertjanw]

What was the API call you use, @emilianbold?

[emilianbold]

It was io.foojay.api.discoclient.DiscoClient.getPkgs(DiscoClient.java:307) which called whatever on the server side.
