Package: aptitude Version: 0.4.11.11-1 Severity: wishlist
Please add a field to aptitude's package description showing which repository the package is comming from. When a package is available from more than one configured repository it's very difficult (if not impossible) to figure out which one comes from where, esspecially without installing it first, and the version number is not always a good enough indication. For example if one has testing/unstable/experimental or external repositories configured at the same time. It would be very helpful if a field showing the repository is added to the package display list. -- Package-specific info: aptitude 0.4.11.11 compiled at Nov 20 2008 05:11:32 Compiler: g++ 4.3.2 Compiled against: apt version 4.6.0 NCurses version 5.7 libsigc++ version: 2.0.18 Ept support enabled.
