Initializing a distroseries when the parent has sources in the queues is refused

This is quite important for Linaro, as it's almost impossible to create a Ubuntu derived series with current setup, as it requires both the New and Unapproved queue to be empty of source packages (and both Natty and Oneiric have quite a few packages at the Unapproved atm).

I tried to recreate this locally but in vain: it really seems that source packages are (as they should be) ignored by the check.
Can you please double check that no builds are present in the queue when you initialize the derived series and perhaps provide me with any additional information that could help me figure out where the problem is?

Just tried again and it worked just fine this time, so it could be that a binary package was hanging around, but I remember checking with bigjools at the time he created the bug.

The series is initializing now, guess I just have to wait :-)

Will close as Invalid for now, thanks for looking into this.

Thanks for looking into this. My guess is that the queue was empty when you clicked the init button, but since the job takes a few minutes to start to run after that, there is time for a build to show up and make the init fail.
