In general I like it.
few improvements which I found usable
- one click show details, second click on same repo hide it again (now it hides 
only if you click on another)
- I prefer to show after click instead of show on focus because if someone move 
mouse not so fast it too much change. I think it could stress person if page do 
something even if they just move mouse

If RPM from which is package installed is stored on disc after installation or 
not.

Maybe "Instalation sources" or package sources?

Yes it should be better explained. I prefer info icon next to priority which 
show help under input.
