[Bug 451366] Re: 404 from the archive is not handled well

[Sebastian Heinlein]

We cannot reduce this to a 404 error - since we don't know what
happened. The download just fails. Kind of a black box.

The next question is if we should do this inside of the transaction or
create a new update-cache transaction and requeue the current one.
