In the Linux build process we experience frequent errors when running the
update_package_provides.pyscript during the build. This is because many Fedora mirrors have out of date repomd.xml files that are older than the other repository metadata files(i.e. primary.xml.gz).Originally I was going to whitelist the repos that were up to date(brave/brave-core#252) but I closed that in favor of adding retry logic to the script at @bridiver's recommendation.
