To answer Kevin's question, I do not have an Epoch in the spec file.  So
for the rpmdev-vercmp command, I used 0.

$ rpmdev-vercmp 0 0.18.2 2.20141025.git.96193798.fc20 0 0.18.1 5.20140902.git.ef5e66ae.fc20
0:0.18.2-2.20141025.git.96193798.fc20 > 0:0.18.1-5.20140902.git.ef5e66ae.fc20

Is it possible that a dependent package which was compiled against the
old notmuch is preventing the update.  The reason I am asking, in this
release, there was an SONAME version bump in libnotmuch.  In my case,
the dependent package is mutt-kz[1].

Thanks for any ideas.

Cheers,
