Improving runbib disagnostics in case of error

Hi.

I've tried and compile my bibliography after having upgraded to the
recent .deb packages, and apparently, the styles were no longer
retrieved.

runbib's invocation of refdbib wasn't really provinding detailed error
diagnostics in order to help locate the issue...

May I suggest to add some echo log in case of an error during refdbib
invocation ?

Best regards,

P.S. after reinitializing the database and restoring a backup, I got my
styles working again.
