Comment 5 for bug 145849

I ran into this today when uploading to my PPA a package that I had signed with a new key. Having set up the PPA long ago, I had forgotten that gpg keys must be registered with my launchpad account. The upload completed, but Launchpad silently discarded it, making it appear as though some part of Launchpad was down.

This was a frustrating and unnecessary time-waster, as is usually the case with silent failures. A notification of the failure and its cause just about anywhere would have avoided it. For example, a notice on my (the PPA owner's) launchpad home page, or on the PPA page, or in an easily-accessible log that I could have checked.
