This is already tracker by patch#45984.  Well, the patch fixes the
issue of "pypi" and other ones too (although some had probably been
fixed independently, I have not checked or rebased this old patch).
The patch had not been merged because we (with jeko) tried a
pair-programming hacking session to revamp all the error handling.
Well, we were not very far (not easy pair programming, remotely
neither :-)).

I do not have much time these days to concretely make this revamp.
Maybe, the initial patch could be applied as a stopgap waiting a clean
revamp.
