Launchpad itself

bzr: ERROR: Target directory lp:jcn already exists, but does not have a .bzr directory. Supply --use-existing-dir to push there anyway.

Asked by Jacob Henner

When trying to push the first copy of a branch I get bzr: ERROR: Target directory lp:jcn already exists, but does not have a .bzr directory. Supply --use-existing-dir to push there anyway. I've used bazaar with Launchpad before and didn't get this error. Am I doing something wrong?

I see the branch does exist and it is linked to the jcn development series. Was this branch first created using the Launchpad configure-code page>

Regardless of how it was created. I think you can use
    bzr push --overwrite
to ensure your branch is on Launchpad and is the default branch for jcn

Same error, and I believe it was. Shall I remove it and make a new one some other way? Thanks!

The solution is to use the --use-existing-dir option as mentioned in the original error message.

It looks like you have sorted this now.

Can you help with this problem?
