Experts are not the only users of Mandrake. Rpmdrake is first targetted for
normal or newbie users, and I have no problem with the "normal" information
shown here. These users have no clue what's a source, and even when they learn,
they mostly don't care when their packages are installed from CD's or a DVD.
Regarding the currently installed version, for these users, most of their use
will not be upgrades but installs, and there is absolutely not point in having
"Currently installed version: (none)" for all the packages they will get
information on.

description:
In the information window for maximal information, two pieces of information shown
there
include:
1) source - where a package can be installed from (only useful in rpmdrake)
2) currently installed version - which version can be removed or upgraded (only useful
in
rpmdrake-remove or MandrakeUpdate).
The code was probably attempting to do this, but got mixed up. Currently instead, all
pieces of
info only get shown in regular rpmdrake mode, and the currently installed version is
obviously
"(none)."
I will attach a patch to fix it.
