The Synaptic menu option that you need should be between "Preferences" & "Filters". If it's not there, then please check if you still have 'software-properties-gtk' installed, because that's the application you need for editing the package repositories using the GUI (at least, if you use Ubuntu and not Kubuntu). BTW: what Ubuntu version are you using? (The repository configuration dialog has changed between versions.) -- Jan Claeys
