Confusing ValueError when trying to deserialize a dict into a field of type list

[x3ro]

Describe the bug
When dacite tries to deserialize a field as a list which in reality is a dict, the error message is confusing and does not indicate which field the problem originates from.

To Reproduce

from dataclasses import dataclass
from typing import List

from dacite import from_dict


@dataclass
class Sub:
    name: str


@dataclass
class Example:
    xs: List[Sub]

from_dict(data_class=Example, data={"xs": {"name": "foo"}})
# ValueError: dictionary update sequence element #0 has length 4; 2 is required

Expected behavior
An error that indicates which field caused the problem, and maybe some detail on what happened, e.g.

dacite.exceptions.WrongTypeError: wrong value type for field "xs" - should be "List" instead of value "{'name': 'foo'}" of type "dict"

Environment

• Python version: 3.14.0
• dacite version: 1.9.2

Additional context
Error originates here, where the following kind of call happens (based on the above example). It seems like maybe the condition on L160 is too broad?

dict(["name"])
# ValueError: dictionary update sequence element #0 has length 4; 2 is required

Hi
Can I work on this issue?

I think that this is partially addressed in my PR #290.
I wrap the call on L162 in a try-except and raise a new exception which points to the specific member that caused the error.
This is the error message that you get now:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "dacite/dacite/core.py", line 218, in _build_value_for_collection
    return data_type(_build_value(type_=item_type, data=item, config=config) for item in data)  # type: ignore
ValueError: dictionary update sequence element #0 has length 4; 2 is required

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
    import platform
  File "dacite/dacite/core.py", line 85, in from_dict
    value = _build_value(type_=field_type, data=data[key], config=config)
  File "dacite/dacite/core.py", line 121, in _build_value
    data = _build_value_for_collection(collection=type_, data=data, config=config)
  File "dacite/dacite/core.py", line 220, in _build_value_for_collection
    raise DaciteFieldError() from e
dacite.exceptions.DaciteFieldError: error for field xs
