I've just deployed some fixes [1] to the "dominator" component of Launchpad's archive publisher (the part that decides which older publications have been superseded by newer ones) to sort out the notorious [2] multiple-override race.
Until today, if override changes were made to the same architecture-independent binary package more than once in the same publisher cycle, then all the publications of that binary package in that suite would incorrectly be considered superseded and the package would effectively disappear from the archive. This was obviously terrible but also in a very delicate piece of code that was hard to fix. This should now be fixed, so if you're an archive admin and have been being very careful about avoiding this bug, you can now stop being careful about that. Please let me know if you see any remaining oddities with how overrides are processed.
