I like the prototype.  After you figure out the "What versions are  
available on PLaneT?" DB question, here are some ideas for the GUI:

Per package:
- available versions on PLaneT (show options, select zero or more)
- version(s) installed on local machine (select zero or more if  
uninstalling)
- Install / Uninstall buttons, as you have
- a button going to a doc page on the web in case package xyz is  
unfamiliar to the user
- (maybe) an idea how often a package is used by all PLaneTeers

Fancy/dancy:
- a progress bar
- something that tells the user how often he/she has actually used a  
package
