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. Also there is no "are you sure" option for deleting so if you erroneously click delete, there is no recovery. Even a check box near the button would be ok. Any information/help would be useful! Thanks, Jason

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.
After renaming the package to the recommended zaptel.tar.gz I am getting the same error. Is it a problem with the interface, or could the permissions gotten b0rked for that subdirectory structure? I did have success with my asterisk package which makes me wonder if it is just as I stated above... could be that there is a glitch in the way aur is handling that stuff, or maybe some how I got taken off as the maintainer? Although originally that yielded a 'you do not have sufficient privileges to overwrite that package" so I don't think that is the case either. just spit-balling without any real knowledge of how it's all setup on the backside.

I think all we can do is spit-ball. I've done some more testing on my local instance of AUR and everything seems to be working fine. There's some really odd behaviour when testing on aur.archlinux.org though. The only way I can think of debugging this is to directly look at the AUR database and filesystem. Unfortunately I don't have access to that. It seems that AUR is unable to delete the old files properly so that it can upload new files.
