I'm trying to upload a debian package to ppa.launchpad.net using dput. As mentioned in launchpad.net help I just have to use the following command:

dput ppa:my-lp-id/ppa <source.changes>

My PPA is called main. I built the package using debuild -S and try to upload the resulting foo_0.1.2_source.changes file using the following command:

dput ppa:myid/main foo_0.1.2_source.changes

But this results in 

No host ppa:myid/main found in config

In my dput.cf I have the following:

[ppa] fqdn = ppa.launchpad.net method = ftp # replace <launchpad-id> with your Launchpad ID #incoming = ~<launchpad-id>/ubuntu incoming = ~myid/ubuntu login = anonymous

So, the host is definitely there, but what's wrong here?

EDIT: Seems to be a problem with dput on ArchLinux. The same command on Ubuntu worked like a charm.

  • Replace ppa:myid/main with ppa . ppa is the entry from dput.cf . Commented Feb 15, 2022 at 10:02

I just figured this out for myself. I am on a Debian system and this is what worked for me:

The dput command uses the section header name from dput.cf as input. So, in the case you described above you would want to use the command:

dput ppa foo_0.1.2_source.changes

Here is what my dput.cf config looks like:

[stendhal-webstart] fqdn = ppa.launchpad.net method = ftp incoming = ~username/stendhal-webstart/ubuntu/ login = anonymous allow_unsigned_uploads = 0

So the command dput stendhal-webstart stendhal-webstart_1.0_source.changes worked for me. Hope this helps.

It seems that dput settings are a bit different on Ubuntu systems than others'.

This worked for me for the phpMyAdmin PPA incoming = ~phpmyadmin/ppa/ubuntu/
