I don't think the version on mentors matters here. What matters is what versions are uploaded to the Debian archive. > It happened to me twice, and twice had the older package appear in > official Debian repo, instead of my newly uploaded latest version. To take the dbab example, which I am familiar with as sponsor. What happens is this: 1) You upload 1.1.2 to mentors. I review and upload 1.1.2 to Debian. Sits in NEW queue. 2) You upload 1.2.2 to mentors. I review and upload 1.2.2 to Debian. Sits in NEW queue. 3) FTPmaster gets to review dbab and OK's it in queue. They can easily not notice that there is a second version already uploaded (I suspect their interface makes it hard to notice as this has happened to me a couple times). FTPmaster OKs dbab 1.1.2 so it is now in unstable. 1.2.2 is also in the archive, but now in a sort of limbo. 4) I try to re-upload 1.2.2 but it fails due to 'already in the archive/mismatched checksums'. 5) Before I get round to fixing this something (FTPmaster or some cleanup code, I don't know), notices 1.2.2 and it migrates into unstable. So, none of this is really anything to do with the versions uploaded to mentors. It's best not to upload a second version before the first one is out of NEW, because there is a quite a high risk of something like the above happening, which is not a big deal, just a bit annoying.
