Thanks Stuart,
I tried that package and it indeed does what i needed :)
But I decided to scratch my itch anyway and dug a bit into the
pkg_info code to figure out
what was going on and I found the culprit: is the match_locations function
in the PackageRepositoryList class that all the matches from the first
repository that has some.
I changed that behaviour but that had some side effects so I modified
the PkgInfo class, the patch
follows. Hope this might help for future work on pkg_info.
Cheers,
Antonio
