[Bug 983571] Re: package-data-downloader crashed with ValueError in command(): invalid literal for int() with base 10: ''

[TJ]

I'm attaching a patch I've installed locally that might capture useful
information about the process. As it doesn't seem to be predictable I
shall leave the patch in place until (hopefully) the next time the bug
strikes.
