[Bug 1815478] [NEW] Error message 'Invalid protocol %(protocol)s for port range, only ...' is difficult to understand

 

Public bug reported:

Error message 'Invalid protocol %(protocol)s for port range, only ...' is difficult to understand.
~~~
 43 class SecurityGroupInvalidProtocolForPortRange(exceptions.InvalidInput):
 44     message = _("Invalid protocol %(protocol)s for port range, only "
 45                 "supported for TCP, UDP, UDPLITE, SCTP and DCCP.")
~~~

Thinking about it logically, the port range is invalid for the protocol,
not the other way around.

The error message would be better as:
~~~
Invalid port range specified for protocol %(protocol)s. Do not specify a port range. Port ranges are only supported for TCP, UDP, UDPLITE, SCTP and DCCP.
~~~
