Upload processor attempts to verify hashes against expired files

[William Grant]

devel r12009 altered the upload processor to use Archive.getFileByName instead of Distribution.getFileByName. The former returns expired files, while the latter does not. Expired LFAs have no LFC, so the content.md5 check fails like this:

 Unhandled exception processing upload: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'md5'

lp:~wgrant/launchpad/bug-522800-getFileByName should fix this by preventing Archive.getFileByName from returning expired files.

Is there any workaround?

Ant upload to PPA fails with "Rejected: Unhandled exception processing upload: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'md5'"

You need to upload a new orig file instead of depending on one that was
previously uploaded that since expired.

Fixed in stable r12043 <http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~launchpad-pqm/launchpad/stable/revision/12043>.

Tried both debuild -S -sa and debuild -S -sd, both get rejected with that error.

I tried uploading with both -sa and -sd, and the problem occurs in both the ways. Any workaround? I seem to be having the same case as vladimir.

I worked around the problem by renaming the orig file, which I could do because the upstream version name wasn't crucial.
* renamed alephone_20100424.orig.tar.gz to alephone_20100424x.orig.tar.gz
* changed the version line at the top of debian/changelog to
  alephone (20100424x-0~maverick3) maverick; urgency=low
* rebuilt the package with "debuild ... -S -si ..."

My latest attempt a few hours ago was accepted, so it seems to be working now.
