But I don't understand why, since it seems clear that the second
package has a higher release than the first package.
In any case, this appears to be a bug in the versioning of these
packages, since the "0.2" part of the release string should have been
changed to "0.3" when it was built.
Indeed it should, though like you, I am not sure why. with the date
change, the release is higher and should be a clear update. When I
tried to submit the update to bodhi, I got the same thing. Though I am
doing another update today.
