Bug Description
How to reproduce:
1. Run Software Sources
2. Make some change in the repo list
3. Revert it manually (without clicking the "Revert" button")
What happens:
The dialog that packages info is outdated and needs to be updated pops up.
What should happen:
Program should be smart enough to recognize that no change was made. If there is a "Revert" button, that means the program _knows_ the original state and can compare with it already upon closing.
Sure there is a "Revert" button. But it's not about that button. It's about the program not covering the "other" use case. This is a Bad Thing from usability and convenience standpoint.
