package.orig.tar.gz already exists
I pulled the source of a package from a later version of ubuntu than I am currently running. I want to upload this package into my ppa.
I updated the version number in the debian/changelog file to be unique, and then ran
$ debuild -S -sd
I then ran dput to put the source into my ppa, but I get the message back that the package.orig.tar.gz already exists in the ubuntu repository.
I thought the -sd option to debuild meant that I would not be uploading the orig.tar.gz file.

You are correct. We recommend
debuild -S -sd
when creating alternate versions of an existing ubuntu package.
Did you use
dput <your-ppa> <package_
to upload the source package? dput will examine the changes file an know that the "orig.tar.gz" should not be uploaded.

Yes that is the dput command I used. I have tried this several times
with no success.

Where did you get your copy of dc3dd_7.
| Donald Raikes (don-raikes) said : | #6 |
I thought it was the original I pulled from the precise repository. I
must have inadverantly changed it. I will try pulling it down again.
