I think this check is wrong anyway. If we want to supersede a version in backports with a version in another pocket, then we should be able to do so. Certainly I agree with John that an upload to backports should be able to supersede an older upload to backports, but I'd go further and say that this check should be removed entirely as it's wrong.
Does anyone on the Soyuz team know why this check was added? -- Backport is rejected if an older backport is already there https://launchpad.net/bugs/58144 -- ubuntu-backports mailing list ubuntu-backports@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-backports
