Package: qa.debian.org
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

vcswatch is failing to query salsa.d.o for several days by now.

Here is, e.g., the error message for the package vpnc:

   https://salsa.debian.org/api/v4/projects/pkg-security-team%2Fvpnc
   API request failed: 401 Unauthorized at
   /srv/qa.debian.org/data/vcswatch/vcswatch line 408.

Consequently DDPO shows a 'warn' hint with almost all packages in its
VCS column [0] alongside a sometimes outdated version info (presumably
when the version changed after the access to salsa failed for the first
time). tracker.d.o displays a misleading 'VCS repository is not up to
date' message in the case of an outdated version info.

I assume that vcswatch uses an expired access token, as salsa is
displaying this banner message on its webpage [1] since some weeks now:

   GitLab now enforces expiry dates on tokens that originally had no
   set expiration date. Those tokens were given an expiration date of
   one year later. Please review your personal access tokens, project
   access tokens, and group access tokens to ensure you are aware of
   upcoming expirations. Administrators of GitLab can find more
   information on how to identify and mitigate interruption in our
   documentation. 

I also assume that this also causes the issue reported with bug
#1081157 [2].

Please check this urgently, as DDPO and tracker.d.o increasingly show
invalid information.

Best,
Sven
