No

i.e the popup that shows the actual execution of the download of each
repository. when I hit the reload button

not relevant to my question
I will refine the question;
Is there any way to have synaptic do the package update automatically
when I execute the application. i.e run 'apt-get update';
I do not currently see that happening. I must hit the reload button each
time I open synaptic. That option does not appear in preferences.
Thanks!
