[error] java.lang.IllegalStateException: Found multiple staging repositories

This line is unhelpful: Specify one of the repository ids in the command line. What incantation do I need to run now? An example would be helpful? What is a repository id? How do I find it??

[xerial]

sonatypeStagingProfiles is the command to see the staging repositories.

The next step is usually removing one of them with sonatypeDrop "comgithubpathikrit-1045" command.

Yeah. The help message should be more helpful.

[xerial]

Since sbt-sonatype 3.0 the error message will show a hint to use sonatypeDropAll command.
