dpkg --compare-versions 1.9.22-0~12+201410111205~ubuntu14.10.1 gt 1.9.22-0~3999~ubuntu14.10.1

1 (in bash means FALSE)

>Is it possible to override them?

Of course not, let us assume somebody has installed the old version, they won't be able to install the "new" one, because apt won't find the bump in version changelog.

Version should always increase, not decrease, not be the same.

Otherwise nobody would be able to install anything from your ppa.

So please find a way to bump it.
(or use another ppa)

maybe {debupstream}-1~{revno:packaging} might work, who knows?
