Forwarding this email here, I used the tracker.d.o address but got no reply so far.

Also, an update to what's stated below:

I issued the dcut command to rm my upload, but apparently the package already 
landed in the archive for good, and dcut did nothing (again, apparently).

There may be 2 other options:
* I could ask ftp-masters to drop my upload, not sure if that's something they 
can do. [spoiler: on IRC #debian-ftp they pointed me to talk to you]
* We could upload a new version of python-absl and just replace/overwrite my 
upload. I noticed your original repo [0] contains a pretty up-to-date version 
that could work.

Let me know, regards.

Hi there,

I made an ugly mistake today. While packaging capirca [0] I noticed it depended 
on python-absl. On a quick search I didn't find python-absl on Debian (mistake, 
only checked testing), so I created an ITP [1] for it, a salsa repository [2], 
and then uploaded it to the debian archive [3], in parallel with capirca.

I was expecting python-absl to hit NEW (I thought it was a brand new package) so 
when it was accepted right-away by the ftp-master process I noticed my ugly 
mistake... python-absl already existed and I just uploaded a new version!

I'm deeply sorry about this. I was never my intention to hijack, or diminish 
your work in any way.

Possibly the proper thing to do now is to drop my upload from debian using dcut, 
and that's what I will try once I hit the send button for this email. I would 
need to check the workflow first because I've not used that for ages. I wanted 
to contact you by email to make sure you were aware of the situation.

I'm really sorry for all this noise.

regards.
