i cannot upload using dput. showing error 550

Same issue here. Was thinking that's my network issue, since Mozilla PPA seems to have recent uploading.

We are aware of this issue.
We recently did a major migration of our PPA service and are still fixing a couple of loose ends.

We will update this question once we are certain this is fixed

Also for context, this seems to be an intermittent issue, so retrying might work.

It absolutely does not help to retry (at least for me). I've tried several times in different repositories and the upload is still failing every single time.

Retrying, sometimes works, specially for small packages. Not sure however, if the sys admins on the LP end are entirely happy with all the retries. :-)

This issue has also been affecting me for the past two days (since 14 November). Retrying dozens of times sometimes finally results in the upload going through. Hopefully this will be fixed soon, as it is making uploading to Launchpad nigh on impossible right now!

Thank you sir

Hi,

Is the outage back ?
It fails to upload after the data port is opened in passive mode.
Sometimes I manage to send two or three files, sometimes not. Error 550..... occurs.

I have same issue.

The issue has not been fixed, we are trying to debug it asap.
Please be patient as we have a small team and most of it is off this week.

I'm re-opening this question.

I can't upload the packages even when running dput in tight loop using following dput override:

```
#!/bin/sh

while true; do
      /usr/bin/dput "${@}" && exit 0
done
```

It breaks on various files (it's not the same file every time):

```
Uploading bind9 using ftp to ppa (host: ppa.launchpad.net; directory: ~<launchpad-id>/ubuntu)
running supported-distribution: check whether the target distribution is currently supported (using distro-info)
{'allowed': ['release'], 'known': ['release', 'proposed', 'updates', 'backports', 'security']}
running required-fields: check whether a field is present and non-empty in the changes file
running checksum: verify checksums before uploading
running suite-mismatch: check the target distribution for common errors
running check-debs: makes sure the upload contains a binary package
running gpg: check GnuPG signatures before the upload
Uploading bind9_9.16.45-1+ubuntu20.04.1+deb.sury.org+1.dsc

You either don't have the rights to upload a file, or, if this is on
ftp-master, you may have tried to overwrite a file already on the server.

Continuing anyway in case you want to recover from an incomplete upload.
No file was uploaded, however.

```

I hope this will be working again soon.

Using sftp instead of ftp by using the `ssh-ppa` instead of the `ppa` prefix worked for me, but that's not an option that I can use everywhere because of the additional setup required (need to have a registered ssh key).

I just pushed a fix for this issue. From our tests it seems to have been effective.
Feel free to re-open this question if the problem persists.

It works again. Thank you.

I just encountered the problem again with a large source upload (libreoffice).

Small upload worked for me (few hundred KB). But for large source (i.e. 15 MB), the command always terminated at last KB .

Uploading to ppa (via ftp to ppa.launchpad.net):
  Uploading xxxx.dsc: done.
  Uploading xxx.orig.tar.bz2: 15804k/15805k

ricotz, thanks for reporting.
Is the error the exact same as mentioned in the description of this bug?

Dear Ines,

Not exactly the same as reported, but also happening since the failure began. So, I assume, either the same or closely related. Please, let us know if we must open a new incident.

I'm available for testing in case you need.

Thanks!

Thank you jhonny-oliveira.

I think this was a different issue, and I just deployed a fix for it. I would appreciate if you could test a large upload.
If the upload is still failing, feel free to open a new bug about it!

I just uploaded Chromium successfully (second try). The first broken in the middle.
I will open a new request if I continue facing upload issues.

Thank you! / Obrigado!

Thank you Ines and all involved for your technical support with the Launchpad upload issues. It does appear to be completely fixed now, including for large uploads. Just now I also managed to upload Chromium successfully after being unable to do so for the past three days (since 14 November). Thanks again!

Problem solved. upload working good now, Thank you all..
