Hello, I'm not sure about "consistently". Maybe the website used in debian/watch is slightly slower than most others. Then using a slightly higher timeout value should fix that.
But, there's more than "iat". For example, the package libnet-cidr-perl is marked with "Error" on http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=ba...@debian.org&ordering=1 and I don't see why. Maybe there were temporary network problems, or maybe cpan.org doesn't like the scanning for multiple packages in a row (hammering). Possible approaches to solve this: Adding some sleep calls between consecutive scans on the same website. Displaying the old version on the qa-developer-pages until the next rescan is successful. Re-scanning selectively briefly (minutes/hours) after the failed scans to deal with temporary errors. So basically it's about tuning the rescanning.
