That's correct - the fact that an upload of that version was made will
never be forgotten.  You must increase the version number when you make
a new upload (and it isn't normally necessary to delete the previous one
first - just make a new upload with a higher version to replace it).

"Deleted" does not mean "expunged from history".  Nothing is pending
here; the deletion is merely still recorded in the PPA's history, which
is intentional.


  While I believe what you say, it seems
some change files gets preserved, for example,
the change that made me write:

 ofono - 1.17.bzr6912+16.04.20160314.3-1ubports0	(changes 
file)	2021-07-03	Deleted


  failed its purpose under testing, then
I changed the patch, I asked the removal of
the deb, and I never could re-upload it since
there was a change file with different content.
The only way to get to it was bumping the
revision, even when there was not 2 changes.

  Thanks!

  José Pekkarinen.

"Deleted" just means that it's deleted from the published archive on
disk, as seen by apt.  Most of the associated files (except small ones
like build logs) are then garbage-collected from Launchpad after a week
or so, which has happened in this case.

"Deleted" does not mean "expunged from history".  Nothing is pending
here; the deletion is merely still recorded in the PPA's history, which
is intentional.

It involves a cron job that runs every six hours, so it can take up to
that long.


  Thanks for sharing Colin, I'm afraid
something is wrong, since in the link I
provided it's possible to see the following:

 indicator-network - 0.8.1+ubports2 (changes file)  2021-06-19  Deleted

  So some packages are waiting for more
than a week, being ignored.

  Best regards.
