For example, `yum list totem` returns: Available Packages totem.i386 1.0.4-1 installed What I believe that Willem is trying to explain is that Yum should show which repo it was installed from, perhaps with output such as: Available Packages totem.i386 1.0.4-1 installed (from updates-released) I've not at all delved into the internals of Yum or RPM's database handling, so I'm not sure of its plausibility.
