It is because the table always displays a version of 'candidate' package, if it
is available. So if there's any newer version of the kernel on update
repository, you'll see that in the 'version' column of the table. However if
you look at the description field of the package under the table, you'll see
two distinct versions - installed and available.
What Qt packager does is that it shows both versions in a single column in the
form '$installed($available)'. Could be done in ncurses as well, but probably
post-11.1 (requires string modification)
There were originally two columns in ncurses packager, one for each version,
but one of them was omitted for the lack of screen space. The way it is done
now saves some screen space on one hand, but on the other hand does not show
exact and reliable information.
