Again :) I am speaking of downloadable packages, not of installed ones.
Gslapt doesn't show the source info for downloadable packages which are 
not installed. It shows the source info for "Latest Available Version" only. 
But I would like to see the source info for the given selected package 
version, even if it is not the latest one. I may wish to install some 
particular (older) version, or I may prefer one repository over another (so I 
am interested to see the source), or I may want just to download different 
versions to see how are they packaged.

Regards,
Oleg
