DNS error causes cascading exception failure
Metadata
Current evaluation
Snapcraft 2.34 turns a DNS outage during store push into a confusing urllib3 Retry TypeError; the old issue has no triage activity and needs reassessment against current error handling.
Suggested action: needs triage
Reason: The report provides a concrete command, Snapcraft 2.34 version, and a full traceback ending in "TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for -=: 'Retry' and 'int'"; the issue has no labels, comments, assignee, or maintainer response, so it has not been assessed. The current checkout wraps requests connection failures as NetworkError in craft-store and catches CraftStoreError in Snapcraft, but no resolving commit or issue-specific fix was identified, so the historical report should be rechecked rather than closed.

Issue body
My internet was dodgy today, but a DNS failure probably shouldn't be displayed like this.
Snapcraft 2.34.

Pushing hydroctl_15_multi.snap
Preparing to push '/home/rog/src/go/src/github.com/rogpeppe/hydro/snap/hydroctl_15_multi.snap' to the store.
