Launchpad itself

Same PPA version failed to backport to older distribution

Asked by Vic

I've uploaded some packages to my PPA for Karmic and they all worked fine. Today I tried to backport them into Jaunty. So I change debian/changelog to jaunty and upload it. But launchpad rejected my upload because it thought I was uploading the same version to karmic, which is not I am trying to do. Is it a bug or did I do something wrong?

Following is the rejected email. As you can see, launchpad said it was "already accepted in ubuntu/karmic", but my upload is "Distribution: jaunty".

Rejected:
The source libssh - 0.4.0-0~ppa1 is already accepted in ubuntu/karmic and you cannot upload the same version within the same distribution. You have to modify the source version and re-upload.

By the way, I tried to use a very clean changelog file with only one entry. The whole source tree does not contain any "karmic" keyword in any file, but launchpad still thinks I am playing with Karmic :(

Your version number of 0.4.0-0~ppa1 is probably where the conflict is. Try changing it to 0.4.0-0~ppa2 and see if you still have the conflict.

Let us know when this is fixed as I'm very interested in jaunty repositories to install remmina.
Thanks!

Sorry for the delay, I thought no one would be interested in it because karmic is around for a while already. :)

Anyway, I try to change the ppa version to ppa0 (just to make sure that jaunty has a lower version than karmic ones) and it appears to be built successfully in jaunty.

Please replace the word "karmic" to "jaunty" in my ppa address and try to install it. If things go well I will update the web site.

Thanks,

Vic

Just add a comment, so simply say, even in different distribution, we can't have the exact same version number for the same package. I think this is the way PPA works, but anyway this is not a big deal.

Yes it's working now. I thought I tried that in the morning and gave me some errors... it's perfect now.
This remmina application is VERY good.
Thanks!
