Hello there.

I am trying to use ubuntu PPA. I have followed steps from 
https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart ( activated ppa, imported gpg key, 
signed ), but i still can't upload packages.

I have created simple source package and tried to upload it to ppa.

Here is reply mail from ppa:


Rejected:
test_1.2.3.hardy.ppa.1.dsc: Section 'main' is not valid
test_1.2.3.hardy.ppa.1.tar.gz: Section 'main' is not valid
Further error processing not possible because of a critical previous error.
