No, I don't confuse the tools. I read it time ago but don't remember
where. Let me do a quick Google search... don't recall it was an article
from Ubuntu wiki but this can be better than nothing:
***
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto#Updating_the_Package_List
"Updating the Package List
Click Reload or press Ctrl + R to make Synaptic aware of the latest
updates and any changes to the list of repositories.
Although this is done automatically when you open Synaptic it can be a
good idea to update the database from time to time while running
Synaptic. (...)"

However, I don't know if this still remains true for the current Debian
version of Synaptic.
