Found it: smart upgrade --download

This is even better: smart upgrade --update --download
(an equivalent of apt update && apt upgrade)

Well, lots of discovering to do... :P

It is the version from the channel. There is also a local channel, of the rpms 
installed on your system.

In the Channels tree style, packages can be listed more than once, if they are 
in a channel:
  RPM System    : kdetv 0.8.8-14@i586
  KDE:Backports : kdetv 0.8.8-2.1@i586

So it /is/ possible to compare. But its a helluvaway to do it. I've asked 
Gustavo about it. We'll see how he responds. Maybe he'll add an extra 
column... ;)

Cheers,

Leen
