Those have more than one version available; you must choose which you want to be installed. The default is the recommended choice, based on whether you select prev (for previously known stable), curr (for current stable), or exp (for experimental). Those buttons change the default recommendations. > Why do some have a Current version listed and others don't? Depends on what you have installed, I think. The disk-based operations aren't debugged as much as the "install from internet" option. > Why does one have an arrow? Arrows appear when you have something in both the first and second columns. > why do some have keep, and others have uninstall, and some don't? If a version is already installed, you can keep that version installed or uninstall it, in addition to installing a different version. Yes, it makes little sense when you're just downloading, but the same dialog is used for all three cases. If that package isn't installed at all, your options are limited to "skip" or install a version. -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
