Once upon a time (not sure how many versions back this goes), there were two version columns under Software Management, just as there are now, although the column headings may have been slightly different (can't remember). If the package had not been updated, the two numbers were identical. If the package had been updated, the Inst. version was a larger number and was highlighted (white on black background instead of black on white background, or something like that). So, you could quickly go through the list to see which packages had had patches applied to them. In looking in Software management now, it looks like those columns both show the exact same version in every single case. I know I've applied numerous package updates since I first installed 10.1, so are these two columns now just redundant data? Does anyone have instances where they show different versions in these columns? Looks like it's either a bug or a feature that is no longer supported (and one of the columns should just be removed).
