Yes, I mean package version, sorry for the wrong terminology.

This I knew, and that's what confused me: When preparing my package for upload, I increased my package version number, then prepared the .dsc. and .changes etc. using py2deb. If we look at the email from the autobuilder, it seems that it properly recognized this in the uploaded files (or at least my filenames reflect it :-):

My second package version of the initial fremantle version of mclock:

> [2009-09-21 20:35:21] Processing package mclock 0.6.0-2. Uploader: twaelti, builder: builder1
> [2009-09-21 20:35:34] Building mclock 0.6.0-2 for target 'maemo-fremantle-i386-extras-devel'
> [2009-09-21 20:36:14] OK
> [2009-09-21 20:36:21] Signing build results
> [2009-09-21 20:36:27] mclock 0.6.0-2 has been queued for loading into fremantle extras-devel repository
> [2009-09-21 20:36:27] You can find more info about this build here: https://garage.maemo.org/builder/fremantle/mclock_0.6.0-2/

My first package version of the fifth minor revision of the fremantle version of mclock:

> [2009-09-24 22:20:17] Processing package mclock 0.6.4-1. Uploader: twaelti, builder: builder1
> [2009-09-24 22:20:24] Building mclock 0.6.4-1 for target 'maemo-fremantle-i386-extras-devel'
> [2009-09-24 22:21:12] OK
> [2009-09-24 22:21:19] Signing build results
> [2009-09-24 22:21:22] mclock 0.6.4-1 has been queued for loading into fremantle extras-devel repository
> [2009-09-24 22:21:22] You can find more info about this build here: https://garage.maemo.org/builder/fremantle/mclock_0.6.4-1/

Unfrtunatelely, that info about the package version never arrived in the repository or package viewer. So I guess there must be a bug somewhere in my package files.
However, looking at the files in e.g. https://garage.maemo.org/builder/fremantle/mclock_0.6.4-1/ doesn't reveal any problem.

Can you help me track that bug down? It would not only help me, but all people who plan to use py2deb for their packaging.
I will gladly send you the files privately in a separate email if this helps.

Best regards
