ambiguous error when `fetchInfo = "path:."`

After executing floco translat -ptj
, the pdef.json file contained the following entry for the top-level package:
[...]
"fetchInfo": "path:.",
[...]
On a nix build
this leads to the following error:
error: string '<unknown-file>/.' doesn't represent an absolute path
This error isn't very helpful as it doesn't describe the problem or how to fix it.
I'd expect something along these lines:
Cannot find the source for package XXX, please define via override:
[example for a source override]

Thanks for the report I'll do some digging.
In retrospect I shouldn't have added so many layers of abstraction in those fetchers, they get hard to debug.
