timeout error with getPublishedBinaries

I received the following OOPS-93a7f065d6fde5f9dc8da36af604ffb5 when loading this url:

So, this DB query is just somewhat cold; it needs to read a fair number of BinaryPackageRelease rows, and it's possible that it will take a few tries to succeed in doing that.

apport-retrace has no retry logic for these queries, which really isn't going to help here. Do you think you could look into adding that? The relevant code is in apport:backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py:__AptDpkgPackageInfo.json_request. If this can't be converted to use launchpadlib for whatever reason, then a good approach would be to adapt the backoff-and-retry logic that launchpadlib uses; you can find this in lp:lazr.restfulclient, src/lazr/restfulclient/_browser.py:Browser._request_and_retry. Let me know if you have questions there.

I've switched apport to use launchpadlib so I'm closing this as Invalid.
