502: Bad Gateway on upload when Provides-Dist metadata is invalid instead of error messages

[rjdbcm]

I am getting bad gateway errors the past 14 hours, only from my GitHub actions runs. Wondering if this could be related to the cause of #9151 since everything else seems to be working. My local CI works with the same token on a different repo so maybe this is some sort of regional proxy service outage or something.

Edit 1: Now it is only for this repo but not for my other repos with the same GitHub workflow and token setup. I have had the same result for GitHub actions runners 12,13, and 14. Does not seem to be related to which runner I use and seems to be isolated to this package repo.

Edit 2: I have figured out the issue the core metadata specification for Provides-Dist shows a version format that will not work for warehouse as it uses packaging.requirements.Requirement to validate this header. I have opened a PR over on the spec to change the example as well pypa/packaging.python.org#1586

I think we're parsing this correctly and the example in the spec is wrong, see my comment here.

That said, I think returning a 502 here is not what should be happening, as we clearly intend to return some human-readable error messages, so I'll leave this open and amend the title to reflect that.

I've asked @DarkaMaul to take a look at this 🙂
