On most of the CentOS 5 machines I manage, if I run "yum list installed" the third column just says "installed" for all packages. But on one machine, some lines show instead a repo name preceded by an @ sign. Apparently the repo from which the package was installed, which would be immensely useful.
Two questions:
1. Can I have that feature on the other CentOS 5 machines too? The machine in question has yum version 3.2.27-12.el5_from_el6 while all others have version 3.2.22-39.el5.centos. Where did that "el5_from_el6" version come from? The "yum list" entry for yum itself does unfortunately not show a repo name.
2. Can anything be done about the lines still saying only "installed"? How do find out where those packages came from?

Two questions:
I addressed most of this in a thread called "Re: [CentOS] how to find..." about a week ago.
Regarding the "strange" yum version on the one machine a quick google would suggest it came from a c5-testing repo at one time (with lots of disclaimers not to use it outside of testing...).
