Comment 2 for bug 918629

Curtis, you don't understand me - issue is: I can't delete superseded source and binary packages indicator-sensors_0.1.orig.tar.gz from our Launchpad PPA !
It's ok, that Lp doesn't permit users to publish different packages with the same name, this is not issue, but in this case LP doesn't allow to delete old, badly named and superseeded packages, which I've copied from another PPA into my PPA :(
Please don't close this bug, I've filled question #185264 , please ask there for more info if you still don't understand me.
