screenshot of sw_single hiding vendor change update

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1.3)
Gecko/20090909 SUSE/3.5.3-3.2 Firefox/3.5.3

If you add a 3rd party repository to 11.2rc1, sw_single will "hide" (not show)
the availability of updates.

In 11.1 (and earlier) sw_single would display the update availability by using
blue text and showing the available version in the "Installed (Available)"
column.

In 11.2rc1 the update availability is completely hidden for the user. See
attached screenshot. This means the user must know that an update is there, and
manually go to the version tab and select it in order to install it.

In other words the user has to be an expert and do extra work to install e.g.
libxine1 from packman or amarok 2.2 from kde:backports, or any other
OBS/Packman package which exists in the distro (mozilla stuff, OOo, etc.) for
that matter.

The severity of this problem cannot be exaggerated.

If you allow vendor change in zypp.conf, you can work around the problem, but
this is of course not satisfactory.
