Yes, indeed.

So the presented patch fulfills your needs?

Than forget what I stated (it's because I'm not really familiar with the
output that smart produces). If the package is in the rpmdb it is indeed
not needed to know from where they came from.

Could you elaborate?

The packages on "Upgrades" and "Required by" are already installed, which means
they belong to rpm-sys. Why do you need to see where they came from?

It's better. But now only the leading package shows the channel tags.
Depend packages do not show their channel info:

 Upgrading packages (25):
  alsa-1.0.10-0.pm.1@i586 [packman-apt]
    Upgrades:
      alsa-1.0.9-23@i586 (upgraded)
    Required By:
      alsa-tools-1.0.10-0.pm.0@i586 (installed)
      k3b-0.12.10-3.pm.0@i586 (installed)
      gthumb-2.6.8-2.guru.suse100@i686 (installed)
      alsa-devel-1.0.10-0.pm.1@i586 (installed)
      freeciv-2.0.7-1.pm.1@i586 (installed)
      alsa-firmware-1.0.10-0.pm.0@noarch (installed)
      libffmpeg0-0.4.9-4.pm.cvs20060122@i586 (installed)
      amarok-1.3.8-1.guru.suse100@i686 (installed)
      libxine1-1.1.1-0.pm.2@i586 (installed)
  alsa-devel-1.0.10-0.pm.1@i586 [packman-apt]
    Upgrades:
      alsa-devel-1.0.9-23@i586 (upgraded)
    Requires:
      alsa-1.0.10-0.pm.1@i586 (installed)

If the dependend packages show their channel as well, this would
be perfect.

I'm sending a patch that adds the channel information for a package while
running a transaction with "--explain".

It's just a personal test. No guarantee that it will come into Smart.

Can you please check if it's enough information for you?

Discussed on opensuse list.

It is not possible to determine from which (apt) components the packages
are being selected during installation or upgrade. It would be good
if this information was provided.

this does it:
linux:~ # smart install --urls gramps

> (or)

--explain does not, it would if it would include the 'alias' .
BTW: --explain is not correct. As I still don't know how it works, it's only
more verbose. So please change it into --verbose....
