No processing/acceptance from dak for some packages?

[Nilesh Patra]

Hi,

I have been trying to upload yaggo 1.5.10-5 for more than 12 hours by now.
And I have done this several times by now[look here]

It gets to the ftp upload server, sits there for a while, and vanishes eventually.
There is however no further processing, neither accept, nor reject.

I however, tried uploading golang-github-shenwei356-bio 0.3.2-1, and golang-github-shenwei356-util 0.4.0-1 and these went smoothly.

This looks just... weird. Would someone know why this happens?

Someone uploaded a broken .changes file that had different sizes for the
same file:

The error handling in the archive software is not very good for this
error: it stops processing, thus all .changes files sorted after this
one did not get processed.

The file was now moved away.

Anyway, people should *not* edit .changes files manually as it is too
easy to refer to the wrong files, e.g., a different .orig tarball than
was used to build the package. I suspect someone did manually edit the
file here.
