fail() is called if an error happens, but the log priority
is debug, so user may not notice the error.
Let's change the priority to err.

Hi Masa,

The debug messages which are from fail() include source code line numbers and function name,
these are useful for developers not typical users. Therefore, we made it a debug level print.
Currently the debug level cannot be outputted is a bug.
I will make a patch for adding [--verbose] option to emit debug messages and changing the log level of some messages.

Thanks,
QI
