error - "Launch could not be promoted"

I created a launch of our homepage and made my edits.  When I go to Promote Launch from sidekick I get an error message "Launch could not be promoted".  Then if I refresh the page my edits get overwritten by the production page.  I do not see anything showing in my error logs or any of my logs related to this.  What could be going on and how do I resolve this?

A little extra context.  We are using AEM 5.6.1 and this did work back in December but suddenly stopped working.

I think I hit a break thru.  I went ahead and installed AEM 5.6.1 Service Pack 2, restarted my server, did a promote launch and saw a success message.  It redirected me to the production page with my changes.  I am going to continue to test to make sure it wasn't a fluke but I'm thinking the service pack 2 was the answer.

Have you checked the debug logs of promote launch command ? Add a debug logger for this package "com.adobe.cq.wcm.launches" and see if you get any useful information in the logs.
