Launchpad itself

Package upload failed with timestamp error

Asked by Sunderland93

Hello. I recently updated a package in my PPA and after successfully building it I get a upload error:

DEBUG Considering changefile 3414497/ubuntu/ubuntu-sway-default-settings_23.10_amd64.changes
DEBUG Finding fresh policy
INFO Processing upload ubuntu-sway-default-settings_23.10_amd64.changes
INFO Upload was rejected:
INFO ubuntu-sway-default-settings_23.10_amd64.deb: deb contents timestamp check failed: timestamp out of range for platform time_t
INFO Committing the transaction and any mails associated with this upload.

Can you please tell me what is wrong with my package? Or this is Launchpad error?

The error message `timestamp out of range for platform time_t` suggests that the timestamp is either from before 1970 or after 2038. Could you please double check the files you have produced?

Here is a build log https://launchpadlibrarian.net/686907650/buildlog_ubuntu-mantic-amd64.ubuntu-sway-default-settings_23.10_BUILDING.txt.gz

When I have a look at your buildlog, I see

```
drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 1969-12-31 20:00 ./etc/skel/.config/dconf/
```
That is probably the issue, and that file was added by yourself, see https://github.com/Ubuntu-Sway/ubuntu-sway-default-settings/tree/mantic/common/etc/skel/.config/dconf and https://github.com/Ubuntu-Sway/ubuntu-sway-default-settings/commit/8cb3e31d16d892d1b98a5df4d6eb74589f75d3a6
