I'm thinking in terms of how Synaptic (or Aptitude) presents the
information about installed applications.

If I filter the view so I just see upgradable packages, I'm shown two
columns... Package and Version.  What does this tell me?  The version
available or the version installed?  It doesn't say (although from my
own experience it looks like it's showing the available version).
Also... assuming it's showing the available version, I can't easily see
what version I already have installed (in fact, I can't see any obvious
way at all to find out what version is already installed for those
packages that are flagged as upgradable).

Look at how Synaptic presents the same info... Package, Installed
Version, Available version.  It's this installed vs repository version
comparison I'm missing.  I would hazard a guess that a lot of other
people will be missing that same info....

I haven't reproduced it on 0.41, but I also have to admit that I haven't
used Smart since this has happened.  I will start using it a lot more
now... hopefully I won't encounter this again :-)  I do have an uncanny
ability to find creative ways to break software (that's why they always
get me to test the software where I work).
