Why does "quickly share --ppa share" abort with a "can't create" error?

  • 772

I can not figure out what I am doing wrong. The package builds ok with quickly package, I could submit it, but I can not update my ppa. Here is what I got: 


desgua@desguai7:~/quickly/sbk$ quickly share --ppa sbk
Get Launchpad Settings
Launchpad connection is ok
..........An error has occurred when creating debian packaging
ERROR: can't create or update ubuntu package
ERROR: share command failed
Aborting

Edit

The name of my ppa was wrong, but even using ppa:desgua/sbk still doesn't work: 

desgua@desguai7:~/quickly/sbk$ quickly share --ppa ppa:desgua/sbk
Get Launchpad Settings

Any ideas? How could I troubleshot this error?

  1. sbk is not a PPA. Something like ppa:robinj/gtkreddit is.

    I'm guessing this is yours; ppa:desgua/sbk.

    I don't think this is the current problem though. Try quickly package first. Does it succeed?

  2. Best Answer

    To troubleshot it I add --verbose: quickly share --verbose --ppa desgua/sbk.

    Also a gpg and a rsa key are needed and must be published in the launchpad.

    This command may have helped: python setup.py build

    Also I have to check the file "name_version_source.changes" and the file "./sbk/debian/changelog" and make sure that the "Changed-By: Andre Desgualdo Pereira " is the same as the output of "gpg -K"
