I don't think that is too good. I upgraded a few days ago and the
xorg upgrade blew out X, so if I only had synaptic installed, I would be
dead in the water. I hope that at least apt-get would be installed as
well. apt isn't shown as a dependence for synaptic BTW.
I haven't run synaptic in a few years but did not like it way back then.
