Comment 4 for bug 918629

William, you are not right - I've tried to upload file with the same name and different content in my PPA several times, just need to delete previous file and wait several hours (sometimes few days) when this file will be really deleted from PPA, see

https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA/Deleting

"Note: Launchpad retains a copy of deleted files for up to seven days after you delete it from the archive. Follow the individual file links in the package's Built packages section. "

I don't want to rename the file, because I wanna use correct numbering, which is in original upstream PPA. Old file was incorrectly named as final 1.0 version, but in reality there was not final, but release candidate.
