Because the top of the columns say that it's about the "Status", and saying that the "Status" of that package is "install" would make no sense. "available" is not a great choice, tho. The suggested "not installed" might be a bit better, but it's longer and I'd rather try and shorten this column. Any other idea? Stefan
