Package: synaptic Version: 0.63 Severity: normal --- Please enter the report below this line. ---
The setting in the synaptic preferences->distribution tab can be inconsistent with the APT::Default-Release setting in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/*. This may result in differences in versions selected for installation/upgrade by apt-get, update-manager and synaptic. In my case it caused the update-manager to report several hundred out of date packages after adding unstable to my sources.list and setting the the preferences->distribution to testing. I don't use update manager but the update-notifier was nice. I may be wrong but I thought synaptic was a GUI for apt-get, If the various package tools aren't compatible then the package dependencies should be set to conflict. Right?
