[packman] confusion of rpm release numbers

Hallo,

some rpm release numbers would be "downgraded".
example:
-rw-r--r--  1 10000 10000 7458 2011-03-11 
05:40 ./packman/suse/openSUSE_11.3/Extra/i586/dhcpdetector-1.0b-1.pm.1.1.i586.rpm
-rw-r--r--  1 10000 10000 6510 2010-12-05 
01:45 ./packman/suse/openSUSE_11.3/Extra/i586/dhcpdetector-1.0b-1.pm.2.1.i586.rpm

The new rpm has a lower release number (and the same version).
Is it a mistake?

===================

Some rpms changed the release number from 0.pm.x.y to x.z.
example:
./packman/suse/openSUSE_11.3/Extra/i586/libgdal1-debugsource-1.8.0-1.pm.1.17.i586.rpm 
and 
./packman/suse/openSUSE_11.3/Extra/i586/libgdal1-debugsource-1.8.0-1.19.i586.rpm
Is it a mistake?
