changed title from sideload tries to rebuild packages that have already been build and fails doing so to sideload tries to rebuild packages that have already been built and fails doing so

I think I'm seeing this as well.

I built a kernel package usingpmbootstrap build --envkernel linux-postmarketos-qcom-sc7280. Trying to sideload it starts building the kernel all over again. This used to work a couple of months ago when I last tried it.

The attempt to rebuild the kernel (during sideload) fails:

Try fresh master branch - this should be fixed

Yes, I did manage to sideload it with an updated master branch, thanks!

Fixed in !2572 (merged)
