[Debian-salsa-ci] "An error occurred while fetching the job” consistently for one repository

[Aayush Raj]

I see. I can't probe the jobs since your CI/CD isn't public. But at
any rate, if you're sure this is an ongoing issue, you could raise it
with the Salsa admins, since they handle the infrastructure:
https://salsa.debian.org/salsa/support/-/issues. Though if it seems
resolved, we can avoid bothering them for now :)

Thanks!
