That may be it. Setup isn't great at handling those deltas right now.

Did you bump the suffix number? That should be bumped if changing from
.gz to .bz2.

Yes please, if you can that would be great. The rule is that
foo-1.tar.gz cannot be replaced with foo-1.tar.bz2, but can be replaced
with foo-2.tar.bz2.

The categories release will handle it thanks to Pavel, the HEAD code
doesn't, and may or may not depending on what the streams code ends up
doing.
