The request was not processed and can be safely retried

What does the above error mean? How do I have fink automatically retry?

$ cat external-061521.json | jq -c '. | select(.status!=200) | {url: .url, referrer: .referrer, status: .status, exception: .exception}' | jq

{
"url": "https://www.squid-cache.org/",
"referrer": "https://linuxsecurity.com/features/can-linux-be-used-to-offer-more-security-in-a-wfh-world-on-and-offline",
"status": null,
"exception": "The request was not processed and can be safely retried"
}

that site seems to time out:

$ curl https://www.squid-cache.org -I

maybe that exception could be improved (it doesn't come from Fink AFAIK but an upstream library)

Great, thanks. It does now appear that the bulk of these messages are effectively because the site is no longer available - a permanent error.
