Hi Mattia, thanks for your answer. The third upload after resigning the changes file finally succeeded, nothing else has changed, though. So it is fine to ignore the rest of the email, as it will anyway not help lift the veil of darkness.

Without it's pretty useless for anybody to speculate The original error message was: texlive-lang_2018.20180313-1_amd64.changes: Refers to non-existing file 'texlive-lang-japanese_2018.20180313-1_all.deb' Perhaps you need to include the file in your upload? (see https://lists.debian.org/debian-tex-maint/2018/03/msg00038.html) The changes and dsc files haven't changed between the previous and the current (successful) upload. The only change I made was re-signing the changes (.buildinfo,..). > If I had to speculate on something it would be about Packages-List not > containing the package, but who knows. No, it was the other way round, the package list mentioned a file that was somehow lost during transfer, although dput duly uploaded it and said so. See above. Sorry, I am not so paranoid to make logs of dput calls ;-) It is quite good in telling me if I messed up something (like forgot to sign etc), so I trust that if it finishes and puts a foobar.ftp-master.upload file parallel to the changes file, I assume it is all settled.
