Me too ;) ... but I don't use the gui tools for package
management, prefering to do it all on the CL ... with the exception
that I like Software Sources Manager for adding/removing or just
temporarily en/disabling installed sources. So probly somebody else
who does use the gui's can help. Charles ??
The only time I've seen multiple packages available in the gui
tools is when I've had multiple sources defined and the same rpm was
available from all sources. BUT, that was with the old rpmdrake (pre
9.0), and before I became an urpmi on the CL fan. The way my brain
works, that's practically ancient history ;)
