The unhelpful error comes from a copy-paste error in the error handling code of that function. That should be fixed.

The root problem is that github returned a non 200 response when listing repositories. I don't know why that is occurring, especially without the actual response code.

Until I get it patched in bloom upstream, can you try modifying your github.py file with this patch and running again?

EDIT:

Looking at the logs again I see that you have gotten a 401 unauthorized at a different step:

Received GithubException while checking for fork: Failed to get information for repository 'davetcoleman/rosdistro': 401 Unauthorized

So I guess bloom is taking this general error as a fork does not exist, so it is trying to list the repos you have to make sure there is not a name conflict, i.e. make sure you don't have a repo 'davetcoleman/rosdistro' already which is not a fork of 'ros/rosdistro' and this is where the 401 becomes fatal.
