Summary0007103: merchant should generate better error message if exchange signkey of a /deposit response is not found
DescriptionCurrently, if this happens, the merchant just logs a rather non-actionable SQL constraint violation.

We should explicitly check if the merchant knows the exchange signing key *before* we do the insert (with an otherwise potentially failing select clause).
TagsNo tags attached.

I am very confused how this can happen.
exchange_api_deposit.c::handle_deposit_finished() explicitly checks that the signing key used by the exchange is known in the /keys response.
exchange_api_handle.c::keys_completed_cb() explicitly calls the merchant to tell it whenever it gets new /keys.
taler-merchant-httpd_exchanges::keys_mgmt_cb() explicitly stores every exchange signing key in the database when it is called.

So how _can_ we end up with that database constraint violation? Is there a good way to reproduce this?

I think I reported this bug *before* I knew that there was a linker problem causing a weird API incompatibility.

Probably the SQL statement can't fail now. It only failed because the exchange signing public key was set to NULL due to the linker issue.

Ok, then let's just close this. No point in adding insane error handling for well-logged invariants.
