I created a package for Launchpad PPA and want to upload it to Launchpad. I've used dput command and this is what I get:

tomica@home:~/Desktop$ dput ppa:{MY_LAUNCHPAD}/ppa packagename_0.0.1_source.changes Uploading packagename using ftp to ppa (host: ppa.launchpad.net; directory: ~{MY_LAUNCHPAD}/ppa) 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 packagename_0.0.1.dsc Uploading packagename_0.0.1.tar.gz Uploading packagename_0.0.1_source.buildinfo Uploading packagename_0.0.1_source.changes tomica@home:~/Desktop$ 

I would think that this means my upload was successful. However, when I visit my PPA, it's empty. Why is that?

If I try to upload my package again, this is what I get:

tomica@home:~/Desktop$ dput ppa:{MY_LAUNCHPAD}/ppa packagename_0.0.1_source.changes Package packagename was already uploaded to ppa If you want to upload nonetheless, use --force or remove packagename_0.0.1_source.ppa.upload tomica@home:~/Desktop$ 

This means that my package should be visible and accessible, but it isn't. What am I doing wrong?

For future reference, here's the explanation:

  1. The package was getting rejected because Launchpad builder could not parse non-latin name in 'Maintainer' field in debian/control file. This is considered a bug and was reported here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/1910403
  2. Because of the same bug, notification emails were not getting sent, and so I could not know what the reason was.

I found these answers by asking here: https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/694768.

How did you find out that it was rejected ? I have the same issue, I don't see my package in my ppa. and I do not know why
I've opened a question under Launchpad itself project in Launchpad on this address: answers.launchpad.net/launchpad and one of the members helped.
