Note, that al this is not telling you where the package came from, but 
only where you can FIND it (too).
I use additional repos like ATrpms and Freshrpms.
ATrpms puts "at" in its package name .... Freshrpms does not do that

example
$ yum --enablerepo=freshrpms list zvbi
Setting up repositories
Reading repository metadata in from local files
Installed Packages
zvbi.i386                                0.2.22-5.fc4.at        installed
Available Packages
zvbi.i386                                0.2.15-1.2.fc4         freshrpms

If the package from Freshrpms was installed, I only can see it is installed.
The available upgrade would be from ATrpms .... that is NOT where it 
came from !!

If anyone knows a "trick" so I can really see where it CAME from .. that 
would be nice ....
