While I don't want to pollute the current list with a long thread about
other solutions, I would suggest that you look at Red Carpet again.  In
the top right corner there are buttons to upgrade, install, and remove
packages.  Clicking remove will show you all three of the things you
mentioned.

If you have any further questions about Red Carpet, please feel free to
subscribe to [email protected].  See

Thanks.
