Current evaluation

Request to surface the store's 'already been uploaded' message instead of a generic error when pushing a duplicate snap. 10 years old, no activity; snapcraft push was later removed, so it is no longer applicable.

Suggested action: close stale

Reason: The issue is ~10 years old (3650 days) with zero comments and no maintainer response, and it targets the `snapcraft push` command, which per related bug #1683536's summary 'was later removed from snapcraft' — so the reported behavior no longer exists in the current tool. It is inactive AND clearly no longer relevant, meeting the close_stale bar rather than just being old.

Issue body

When I push the same snap twice, the store status tracker replies with: A file with this exact same content has already been uploaded However, snapcraft only says: There has been a problem while analyzing the snap, check the snap and try to push again.
