aqua package {} does not have repo_owner and/or repo_name.

Error message

aqua package {} does not have repo_owner and/or repo_name.

What it means

When listing versions for an aqua package of GitHub-release type, the code reads repo_owner and repo_name from the package definition to query releases. If either is missing, it cannot build the GitHub releases URL and bails naming the package id.

Solutions

1. Add both `repo_owner` and `repo_name` to the aqua package TOML.
2. Correct misspelled keys and re-validate against the aqua package schema.
3. Fix or pin the upstream aqua-registry entry if the omission comes from the registry rather than local config.

Example fix

// before
[package]
name = "example"
repo_owner = "example-org"   # repo_name missing
// after
[package]
name = "example"
repo_owner = "example-org"
repo_name = "example"

When it happens

Trigger: Version listing for an aqua package whose TOML omits repo_owner or repo_name (only one set, or neither).

Common situations: Copied/merged aqua package entry missing an owner or name; typo like repoName; registry entry for an HTTP-type package mistakenly treated as a GitHub-release package.
