As has been said before, there is something with the location of the "keep 
install and remove" buttons.  Perhaps they should be inside the tab, maybe 
there is something else.  However it is not so important.

Ah, found it now nice :))

In the dependencies tab there is another menu to get an overview of the what 
the pkg e.g. provides or dependes upon, etc.

Is it possible to have these all as seperate buttons?  I believe that would be 
nicer, if space allows it.

Last thing remark: hte color of the 1st tab showing the pkg 
description/information is gray, while the other tabs are white.  I would 
love to see the 1st become white as well :)
