Bug Description

A weird situation was triggered but the uploads made in https://edge.launchpad.net/%7Edave-greenacre/+archive.

Version "opensg-1.8.0alpha1~ppa1" (yes, broken version including the source name) was uploaded and can't get superseded by other correct versions like "1.8.0alpha1~ppa3" (which got uploaded but ignored during domination process).

David, for this specific issue in your ppa I suggest you to use 'epochs' and upload a version "1:1.8.0alpha1~ppa3" (and keep using epochs for the next versions) until we provide "manual removal UI" for PPA (bug 128127).

Celso, why are these uploads even being accepted at all?

The lack of first character being numeric is not a bug - it's still a valid version number.

I would have thought this should behave like the ubuntu archive - if the version number is lower than the current version in the PPA, the automatic rejection email is generated, and the version gets rejected. The lower version will always get put to pending removal - it will never get published - why even accept these in the first place?

Sarah, a simple answer would be 'because we have a bug', but I can extend it and explain that not checking version is a side-effect of not having auto-overrides (in our code).

I get this fixed and cherrypicked in early 1.1.10 times, sorry for all this inconvenience.
