Yep, I updated the logging this week because it's misleading. "No extractor"
actually just means "we will try the next one, if there is one", but it could
also mean failure. So in the event that extractor 'foo' couldn't handle the
file properly, it's not really true that there was no extractor OR that there
was a failure. Failure is more like segmentation fault or unexpected code
paths.

The change to improve this can be seen here:
