So I've been having an issue with uploading only one of my packages, the others seem to be fine. I have(had) the zaptel package and for several weeks now have been trying to update the package with the newest version (kept getting a failure to create the directory error. Today I tried what somebody on flyspray (or the mailing list, I forget) had suggested, which was to delete the package and try to re-upload. Well, that yielded same results and now there is no package to even comment on.
Once the package is deleted, is it gone forever, or are their little bits of information left about it? I don't care about votes or anything, there were only 5 anyway, I just want to know if we could figure out why even with the package gone there was an error about creating the directory.
Some information is saved in the database as well as the AUR filesystem. See: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/zaptel/ Try renaming your tarball to just zaptel.tar.gz and let us know what happens. I have a slight hunch on what might be causing this bug.
