The Windows CI errors are spurious; can you restart these builds? |

There is again a spuriously failed Windows CI build. Can you restart it? |

Improve the error message when a module cannot be loaded because dependencies are missing.
I encountered the error message
Package X does not have Y in its dependencies:, and this did not give me enough context to understand what the actual problem was.What was unclear to me is whether this is an error in package X, trying to load Y (it isn't), or whether this is an error in a different module Z try to load X (that's the real reason). The problem is that X is in an inconsistent state and thus cannot be loaded.
The new error message also states that this error comes from a
usingorimportstatement, and it includes also the name of the module (Z) where the failing using/import statement occurs.
