the timestamp on these packages indicate they were built after ALPHA2,
but before newvers.sh was updated to ALPHA3.  most likely, re@ ran the
build several times before updating newvers.sh and did not clean the
package repository in the interim.

as long as the contents are correct, this has no impact on pkg, and it's
expected that the base repository will have different package versions
because we only update packages which actually changed.
