Hi all,
Is it possible to find out from which repository a package was
installed? I tried dpkg-query and its options but this was nowhere in
the output that was produced by various flags.

I remember using something called "apt-show-versions".

Example:

apt-show-versions -p autoconf -a

output:

autoconf 2.61-8 install ok installed
autoconf 2.61-8 lenny ftp.us.debian.org
autoconf/lenny uptodate 2.61-8

Thanks and Regards
Noorul
