failed to extract images: %v

Error message

failed to extract images: %v

What it means

getImage wraps the images.ExtractImages failure after fetching pages, i.e. the Glance response could not be parsed into Image objects. It fires on malformed API responses, aborting image resolution before the name-match switch.
