that seems fair - a cleaner layout of the transaction confirmation info
and possibly the post-transaction result output would be nice.

It's just two functions that display that information so if you'd like
to work up a layout and figure out good examples for use when the
package and repository names are extremely long. I'd be interested in
seeing it.

Remember the repository names can be long, too. You might look at what
yum does for listing package info for available packages via 'yum list'
