Bug Description

Packages that built successfully "fail to upload" for unknown reasons.

This occurs with packages in two PPAs at least (a team and my personal):

https://launchpad.net/~mactel-support/+archive/+builds?build_text=&build_state=uploadfail
https://launchpad.net/~chrisirwin/+archive/+builds?build_text=&build_state=uploadfail

I have re-versioned a known-good package that has built before and encountered the same results.

Intel is also affected by this "fail to upload" problem:

They reported seeing the following error in their email:

"05:17:52 ERROR Unhandled exception processing upload

 -> http://launchpadlibrarian.net/12127324/rdrcaxMIGjVfFL55o0JtpByqM8p.txt"

They have asked for explanations for this problem

This problem was workarounded in production and the definitive fix is being sorted and will be released ASAP.

Feel free to ask a archive-admin (or me) to re-process the failed-to-upload build results (supplying the build-failure notification message) or to simply retry the build yourself.

Sorry for this inconvenience.

I'm opening a bugtask in apt because the whole problem is caused by a memory leak (opened files left behind) in apt_inst.debExtractArchive method.

Fixed in RF 5849 for Soyuz. The code now uses the backported python-apt fix.

The problem was originally worked around in production by increasing the ulimit for files but we'll probably cherry pick this anyway.
