update in TeX Live: new package revision due to import in svn of changes
of packages on CTAN.

These are automatically generated commits of our test/integration system
that runs every night. An actual update looks like

	Revision 68731 - Directory Listing - [select for diffs]
	Modified Thu Nov 2 19:56:14 2023 UTC (5 days, 18 hours ago) by karl
	Diff to previous 68730
	llncs (2nov23)

My understanding was that Uwe and Ulrike got an *update* of a TeX Live
package (svn increast, something that got installed via tlmgr update ..)
which would be surprising to me, that is the meaning of "fishy".

@Uwe and Ulrike: Can you confirm/explain: did you get an update via tlmgr?

Best regards
