Actually, the fact that an AnnotationDbi update fixed your earlier issue makes me unsure about whether the "bad" package you have is an annotation package.

But if you still want to know....You can look at http://bioconductor.org/packages/devel/data/annotation/src/contrib/PACKAGES or available.packages() which tells you what repository a package comes from.
