Trying to update my extension (GUID {90ac33e5-014c-4a0c-b1e8-df821d2e0e38}) I
get the dreaded "The Name for your extension or theme already exists in the
Update database."  How do we fix that?

On a separate note, why is maxAppVer for Mozilla 1.7, even though there are
official 1.7+ releases?  I couldn't find a bug about this.

Reproducible: Always

hello?

Could you please upload the troublesome XPI as an attachment to this bug please.

There isn't a 1.7+ maxapp ver, there is a 1.8 maxapp ver though.

You have changed guid between versions.

The version of pasteip on the site currently has the guid
{90ac33e5-014c-4a0c-b1e8-df821d2e0e38} and the XPI ont his bug has the guid
{998911E3-4D6E-4497-9554-B5655E9CC7FD}.

This is why you can not update it.

Except I didn't change it.  It's the same one I've been using for a year now. 
Did umo change it when it was uploaded and processed?  Check version 1.2 here:
http://pasteip.mozdev.org/installation.html  It uses the same GUID I've always
used: 998911E3-4D6E-4497-9554-B5655E9CC7FD

Hmm, weird - neither you did - its the same as the GUID I get when downloading
it from the FTP mirrors too.

There's no way for an admin to change the guid, so it must have been changed by
one of the DB admins.

Justdave, kveton: Do you recall ever changing any GUIDs in the database?

Comment 7

[Michael Newton]

can we just change it back so I can update?

Comment 8

[Michael Newton]

Please!

I have the same problem, but with dispMUA. When uploading an update, I get to 
the "New extension Step 2" screen! It seems a bug in the web interface that I 
don't go to the "update extension" step 2 after uploading

Is this still a problem?

[Michael Newton]

God yes!

Guess i won't be getting my free t-shirt for 2.0

IT -- we need to run the following SQL to update the database record to contain the correct GUID:

update main set guid='{998911E3-4D6E-4497-9554-B5655E9CC7FD}' where guid='{90ac33e5-014c-4a0c-b1e8-df821d2e0e38}';

Thanks.

Query run.

Comment 15

[Michael Newton]

So now when I upload the XPI, having stripped out my own update URL and adjusted versioning for 2.0, I get a blank page located at https://addons.mozilla.org/developers/additem.php?function=additem2

Not sure if this is the same problem (guid is stored somewhere else?) or a new one altogether.

I'll add my xpi as an attachment for inspection...

Attachment: problem XPI again

Comment 17

Remove the trailing whitespace after the install.rdf file -- that is what is causing the error.

Comment 18

[Michael Morgan [:morgamic]]

Nevermind -- that's not it.  Basically, for some reason the install.rdf isn't being inflated and parsed, so the script cannot continue because it doesn't find the install.rdf file.  Trying to figure out why...

Comment 19

[Michael Morgan [:morgamic]]

So -- your zip entries come out like this:
pasteip171/chrome/
pasteip171/chrome/pasteip.jar
pasteip171/defaults/
pasteip171/defaults/preferences/
pasteip171/defaults/preferences/pasteip.js
pasteip171/install.js
pasteip171/install.rdf

The parser sees "pasteip171/install.rdf" instead of "install.rdf" so it fails.  Try fixing your .xpi so that you don't have that subdirectory and it should work just fine.  I think you just created your archive incorrectly.
