When one uses synaptic there is reload (update) and upgrade, it does not distinguish
between dist and non-dist upgrade. I assume it is dist-upgrade. So if synaptic has a new
edition (which I assume its dependencies may have been updated) it sounds wise to
upgrade it alone (w/ dependencies) and then restart it and run the upgrade.
Would these be correct assumptions? In most cases I use apt, and synaptic when I am
searching for a useful package, due to descriptions, snapshots, etc.
