What is wrong with printf(_(" [installed]"));?

For my taste, printing [installed] when I have _older version_ installed, a bit strange. In this case [installed: 2.0-1] would be better (but harder to parser).

Afaik, it is always safer to avoid putting non-fixed strings as the first argument of printf. if a bogus translation put some format strings as the translation of installed, it could do weird things.
