In this case 1:placeholder being newer as 0:placeholder. I miss, this email misses, where the repository is. PPA hits it is Ubuntu. I don't known if PPA allows removal what has been uploaded. So yes, deleting and starting over or a new PPA are a path to beyond the 'Version older than that in the archive'. > Do I have any other options? <serious_joke> No, and no need for. You are learning that "epoch" is something to rarely use. </serious_joke> "epoch" is an escape hatch to be used in Debian packaging when Upstream publishes a new release with an older version number. $ dpkg --compare-versions 3.3 ge 3.2 && echo no need for epoch || echo Chips no need for epoch $ dpkg --compare-versions 3.3 ge 3.4 && echo no need for epoch || echo Chips Chips $ > I really appreciate the time you are spending on this.
