Reasons for file rejection when you upload to a PPA vary, and while it
would be helpful to see the exact error message, common reasons
include:

 - Not increasing the version number in your upload
  - You need to increase the version number in debian/changelog, then
re-build the source package to upload it, since there may actually be
a version with the same number on your PPA already.

 - Not including the orig.tar.gz tarball for your program's source,
when uploading an updated package.
  - Depending on how you build your package, you need to pass
parameters to your builder to include the source tarball. In debuild,
that would be the command 'debuild -S -sa'.

To know for sure, you should reply to this thread with the message you
get from Launchpad. It normally is fairly clear in what went wrong
with the upload.
