Control: tags -1 + pending

Hi,

2007-12-25 20:40 xsdg:
Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.10-1+b1
Severity: wishlist

Currently, it seems that there is no way to determine which repository provides
a certain package.  Thus, if I want to find out if a specific package comes
from unstable or from experimental, I need to look at `apt-cache policy <pkg>`
rather than being able to check via aptitude's UI.

Additionally (though I haven't actually checked), it seems that if two
repositories provide a certain package with identical version numbers, that it
may not be possible to tell which package comes from which repository.  (An
example where this might occur is that I currently have Corsac's personal XFCE
repository in my sources.list.  He might tweak a package from there, and then
upload to unstable without removing that package from his repository.  I would
like to be able to install the version from unstable rather than the version
from his repository.)

This is implemented now, will be released soon, so marking as +pending.


Cheers.
