           Summary: Merging of package version numbers in software installer
                    makes it less usefull
           Product: openSUSE 11.0
           Version: RC 1
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement

         Component: YaST2

Past version of the package installer had separate columns for the version of
an installed package and the version available.

There even was a popup indicating if the available version was newer.

Currently these two columns are merged. It always show without enough width to
see both numbers.

Also with so many variations in width and format in version numbers makes the
combined "xxxxx(yyyyy)" hard to read.

In addition, the impossibility in getting the columns to stick to the width one
sets, causes the task of managing the packages in your system less pleasant.

I'd suggest splitting the version numbers information back to the two column
format.
