Package deleted from PPA, but dput still claims its there

Asked by Tal Liron

I've deleted a package from my PPA through Launchpad (hooray for this new features!) and waited 24 hours for it to truly disappear (why does it take so long?). However, even though my PPA seems entirely empty, attempts to dput my changes fail:

"$ dput emblemparade khovsgol_0.1-0_source.changes
Already uploaded to ppa.launchpad.net
Doing nothing for khovsgol_0.1-0_source.changes"

I can't simply increase the Debian version to 1, because then it claims that my changes don't match the signature. I don't have the orig.tar.gz anymore, and I can't get from my PPA, because it doesn't appear anymore, and so I can't generate changes that would match whatever the PPA claims is there. And, even though dput claims that changes have already been uploaded, nothing is done with this upload, and I can't see it anywhere. So, I'm stuck!

What is the procedure for *completely* deleting packages from the PPA, including any changes waiting on queue?

Looks like the package is deleted from Launchpad okay, it's DPUT that finds .upload-file in your package directory and does not let you re-upload it.

You need to do one of the following:

1. Delete khovsgol_0.1-0_source.upload and retry
2. use "dput -f" to force uploading

Hope this helps :)

Can you help with this problem?
