yum trivia question

When running a yum update, I watch lots of lines something
like this scroll past:

update : somepackage-someversion...

But sometimes it says something like:

update : 2:somepackage-someversion...

What the heck does the 2: prefix on the package name mean?
(or 1: or whatever digit it prints - it varies).
