I don't mind either way. But the "Archive" title is taking too much space, we should find a way to shorten it. > "Available" is taking too much space on my netbook > screen. Nice little icons to give visual feedback. Indeed, "available" uses a lot of space, but if we shorten it, "built-in" will also need to be shortened (it's only 1 char shorter). We could try to stick to "three-letter" maximum for the package state. Icons would be fine but don't help in the tty case, so shortening the text is also important. Stefan
