Branch mirroring failed. (Transport error: ... (403 Forbidden)

Asked by Guillaume Mazoyer

It appears that Launchpad has trouble to mirror one of my Bazaar branch.

https://code.launchpad.net/~gnome-split-team/gnome-split/mainline

Here is the error message.

 Launchpad no longer mirrors this branch, because 11 attempts failed. (Transport error: Server refuses to fulfill the request (403 Forbidden) for ...) If you have fixed the problem, please ask Launchpad to try again.

The branch looks healthy it is branchable and reachable from everywhere without any problem but not for Launchpad.
The `bzr info -v' command on the real URL gives the following output.

This appears to be an old-style mirror.

If you register an import of the branch (via the "Import branch" link), it will use a different mechanism which does seem to work (just verified).
