You can't.  Once a version is ACCEPTED by Launchpad, that version is
reserved.  Imagine if your package built on i386 but not amd64.  If you
were allowed to override that version, your i386 user would miss any
changes (which might not just be build fixes).

Granted, the case of all architectures failing means there's no problem,
but Launchpad acts the same way.  You need to bump your version.

You make it sound like you need to release a new upstream version (0.5),
but that's only true if you made a native package (i.e. one without a
separate upstream tarball).  If yours is a non-native package, you can
just bump the ubuntu version number (like so: 0.4-0ubuntu0ppa1 ->
0.4-0ubuntu0ppa2).
