What you expected to see, versus what you actually saw

Dependabot should update nginx to 1.27.1-alpine-otel

updater | 2024/08/16 01:02:17 INFO <job_870066505> The `latest` tag points to the same image as the `1.27` image, so dependabot is treating `1.27.1-alpine-otel` as a pre-release. The `latest` tag needs to point to `1.27.1-alpine-otel` for Dependabot to consider it.
updater | 2024/08/16 01:02:17 INFO <job_870066505> Latest version is 1.27.0-alpine-otel
updater | 2024/08/16 01:02:17 INFO <job_870066505> No update needed for nginx 1.27.0-alpine-otel

but it doesn't and treats it a s pre-release tag.

Not even an acknowledgment in 40 days. In the meantime I switched all the repos to renovate 🤷‍♂️
