Multiple types of issues are currently reported in our sentry instance since the loading
started. Opened here so they are publicly shareable [1] (not investigated)

From afar, the 404, we cannot do much about it.
We have at least 3 unsupported archive formats "rpm", "tbz" and "tgz". Fixing those
sound like the most important. Plus it's beneficial for other package loaders (e.g
archive, cran, pypi, nixguix, ...).
The connection error ones might be worked around adding some retry decorators like those
existing in lister.
[1] kibana is not opened so my dashboard opening was not that helpful...
