I tried a `swipl pack publish https://github.com/mgondan/rolog`, and I get

```prolog
Pack rolog at version 0.9.19 was already published?

```

A pack with that name does not seem to be in [SWI-Prolog packages](https://www.swi-prolog.org/pack/list).

I see a pack `rologp` and `rologpp`. Is there some mixup? Is the pack file consistent? Any other messages before? Note that, as admin, I can delete packs (as well as individual (hash) versions).

I wanted to replace rologp and pp by one with the name rolog. Indeed, the other two can be removed (maybe in half a year or so).

I think I understood it now: The pack was correctly published, it just didn’t appear immediately at [SWI-Prolog packages](https://www.swi-prolog.org/pack/list). And because of this, I tried to publish it again, and got the error message.

Ok. Yes, the registration is immediate, but the package page is cached by the CDN and may thus run up to one hour behind.

Shall I remove `rologp`? That seems old. `rologpp` is still recent.

Please remove both -p and -pp, they belong together anyway.
