`create-admin-account` fails with error that includes "this error should never be printed" if account exists

Bug Description

Creating the same admin account twice fails with a message that includes "this error should never be printed". This isn't your error, but it seems to think you shouldn't expose it to the user :)

If this is intentional, feel free to close this bug!

To Reproduce

deploy iam

create admin account

juju run --model iam kratos/0 create-admin-account email=user@email.com username=user

passes

create it again

run a second time

juju run --model iam kratos/0 create-admin-account email=user@email.com username=user

fails with below message

Environment

The original error message is gone due to the recent charm refactoring. However, the error message coming from the current implementation needs a bit of improvement:

$ juju run kratos/0 create-admin-account email=user@email.com username=user
