DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL:

We are seeing occasional errors on CI in LintResourceRepository.getOrCreateRepository. Based on the code and comments, this is a recoverable error, yet it still fails the lint task with a LintError (and hence fails our builds.) Should it not be a LintWarning instead? If it's recoverable I'd expect the lint task to be able to continue.

I'm also happy to file a separate bug about the errors but we don't have any repro steps, as it happens intermittently, and only on CI.

It's:

Error: Failed to deserialize cached resource repository.
This is an internal lint error which typically means that lint is being passed a
serialized file that was created with an older version of lint or with a different
set of path variable names. Attempting to gracefully recover.
The serialized content was:
...
[LintError]
1 errors, 0 warnings

Does it seem appropriate to just suppress LintError? It doesn't seem limited to particular modules so we'd probably need to do it globally.
