I apologize. The patch I sent WRT bug #41086 was the wrong (nonfunctioning) version.
Here is a resend of the message, with the correct patch and log:


When executing the function `package-list-packages', the column widths are too narrow, cutting off a significant portion of the package names. 

This minor patch adds three variables that can be set by the user to adjust the width of each column within the package list.

* package.el ((define-derived-mode package-menu-mode tabulated-list-mode "Package Menu"):
User can now adjust column widths of the package list by setting the values of the following:
package-name-column-width (defaults to 30 columns)
package-version-column-width (14 column)
package-status-column-width (12 columns)
