I did a test submission with an addon my company developed, but did not finish it. (Name: picpasso@sdzinvest.de, uploading account: SDZ or ogopode)
Later I wanted to submit the addon, but after passing the auto-validation, the process stops and tells me that the name is already in use. When I search my addons, I cannot find the addon with this name and therefore cannot delete it or share ownership.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.upload of the addon
2.wait for auto-validation
3.click on continue

Actual Results:  
I get the message: This addon name is already in use. Please choose another one.

Expected Results:  
The submission progress should have continued normally.

What is the name and guid (<em:id>) of the add-on you're trying to submit?
The Name is PicPasso and the (<em:id>) is picpasso@sdzinvest.de
I don't see that em:id in our database and PicPicasso isn't in our list of taken names. Can you try again? If you still have trouble, please attach your .xpi to this bug.
I attached the addon to the bug after I tried to submit the file again, but got the same notification.
I tried to upload the addon again today, but I still get the same message. Is there anything else I can do? Is there some admin I could contact?
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true
Target Milestone: --- → 6.0.12
Your install.rdf has no <em:name>.  I suspect it's coming through as blank, and triggering the error.
OK, I will talk to the developer about that. Thanks a lot!!!
I talked to the developer and checked the install.rdf myself, there is a <em:name> in it. The value is "PicPasso". It is located at the end of the file, under the comment "Front End MetaData".
So is there anything else that could cause the message?

I just saw that you checked for the name PicPicasso instead of PicPasso. Maybe this name is in the database?

Thanks for all the help so far...
I wasn't able to reproduce this on my dev copy, I'm not sure what is going on.  Jeff:  I don't even see the "INFO UPLOAD" in the logs, which comes before any validation I thought.  Other uploads are happening without a problem, so it's something to do with either the .xpi or something in our db related to the xpi.

Is there anything else I could do to contribute to solving the problem? My boss is starting to worry about the submission to the addons-site...

PicPasso was in our list of taken names, so I removed it. Can you try again?

We have exactly the same problem with our extension named Adlesse (uploaded from account "Adlesse")

We did a test submission with early version of Adlesse some time ago and than disable it. With this test submission we has some troubles (see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=641864#c11). After fixing this issue test addon was deleted from my profile.

Now I want to submit the latest version of addon, but after passing the auto-validation, the process stops and tells me that the name is already in use. When I search addons by name, I cannot find the addon with this name and therefore cannot delete it or share ownership.
The add-on exists, and it has an Incomplete status. It is still associated wit the "Adlesse" account, so you should be able to upload a new version using that account, or transfer ownership to somebody else. If you're seeing any problems, please email amo-admins AT mozilla DOT org.
The problem is that I can't see old incomplete version of add-on in "My add-ons" under Adlesse account.
Please send a message to the email address given above. This is a closed bug and this discussion belongs somewhere else.
