perhaps Synaptic does an "update" when it starts up. That would account 
for it.

 I'd start there. I'm sure many here will reply with their favorite repos
from p.c. to freshrpms.net

Hmmm... I always thought that I had to do an update for apt or yum to
update the their respective dBs -- as in: when I use yum, I "yum
update" first so that if I previously used apt-get I would get the
latest RPM updates from the apt-get install.<br>
