Hi there

The subject of your email references the "diff" but you mention the "orig" 
here.

Have you already uploaded the same version of this package to your PPA before?  
You can't do it again, and Launchpad won't allow the same filename to be 
uploaded twice with different contents either.

Hope that helps.
