I have merged a branch, released an egg, and updated a deb package
from it. Uploaded it to schooltool-owners/dev PPA and it was built. So
yes, the newest zambia code is already in the PPA.

The --reinstall option is not needed. You only do that when a package is broken.

If you know that a package was updated, you do two commands:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install schooltool-zambia

The first one will update the lists of what is available, the second
one will update the package to the newest version.

As I see, apt-get update downloaded a newer list from schooltool dev
ppa, that should contain the newer zambia package.

$ apt-cache policy schooltool-zambia
schooltool-zambia:
  Installed: 0.0.2-1
  Candidate: 0.0.2-1
  Version table:
 *** 0.0.2-1 0
        500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/schooltool-owners/dev/ubuntu/
lucid/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

The newest package available is installed for me.

As for the warning, it says that there is a duplicate line for
canonical partner repository. Try:

$ grep '^deb.*partner' /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list
/etc/apt/sources.list:deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ lucid partner

If there is more than one line, delete it from on of the files and
then `apt-get update`.
