I am trying to upload the package perl-ppi to AUR, but I get the error message "You are not allowed to overwrite the perl-ppi package" even though this package does not exist on AUR.



It would seem you've run into the worlds most annoying bug (http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/8672). But it is interesting that this package appears to have never existed in the AUR.

This is a pain, coz perl-ppi is a dependency of perl-critic, which I have uploaded to AUR on Saturday. What should I do?



Well, I'm not really sure. Maybe directly contact a person with server powers (Simo?). We should probably see about getting a TU access so we can clear those buggy packages out as they occur, at least until the bug gets properly fixed. I have seen this pop up on the mailing list several times now.

In the mean time, I would post the perl-ppi PKGBUILD as a comment in perl-critic.
