zdanee: i understand how the repos work and how i can control what i can install automatically, etc.

What i mean is how i can know, if there is a way, from which repo a particular package was installed.

Imagine this scenario:

- i have AM(application manager) with only the extras and extras-testing repos enabled;
- i have FAM (faster application manager) with extras, extras-testing and extras-devel repos enabled;
- for a certain app, i decide that i will only install versions from testing, so i install version 0.8 from that repo, using AM;
- 2 months later, i see on the forums the dev has version 0.9.1 of that app i like so much, but its in extras-dev;
- since i dont remember if the version i have installed was from testing or dev, it would be nice to know if i can just go ahead and update, or wait for it to go to the testing repo (if ever).

I may be nitpicking a bit too much, but since i am so used to be in control of so much with my N900, i thought i could also find out this information. :-)
