Quick Introduction

Show this dialog at startup

The software on your system is organized in so called <i>packages</i>. The package manager enables you to install, to upgrade or to remove software packages.

You should reload the package information regularly. Otherwise you could miss important security upgrades.

You can mark packages for installation, upgrade or removal in several ways:

Select the package and choose the action from the 'Package' menu.

Double click on the package name.

Choose the action from the context menu of the package.

Click on the status icon to open a menu that contains all actions.

<span weight="bold" size="larger">Could not mark all packages for installation or upgrade</span> The following packages have unresolvable dependencies. Make sure that all required repositories are added and enabled in the preferences.

<b>The following icons are used to indicate the current status of a package:</b>

Available versions:

<big><b>Could not download all necessary package files</b></big> The version of the package that you want to install might be no longer available in the repository, or there may be problems with the source of the package. Reload the package list and check the source of the package (e.g. CD or network connection).

<span weight="bold" size="larger">Your package information is out of date</span> Your package information is older than 48 hours. There could be important security updates available. It is recommended to reload the package information regularly.

Remember the answer

History

History of installed, upgraded and removed software packages.

<b><big>Quit and discard marked changes?</big></b> There are still marked changes that have not yet been applied. They will get lost if you choose to quit 'Synaptic'.

Difference between the files

_Force Version

Force version:

<b><big>Mark upgrades in a smart way?</big></b> The default upgrade method skips upgrades that would introduce conflicts or require installation of additional packages. The smart upgrade (dist-upgrade) attempts to resolve conflicts and to fulfil all dependencies of upgrades in a smart way. <b>Note:</b> The upgrades will be marked only. You still have to apply them afterwards.

Remember my answer for future upgrades

This behavior can be changed in the preferences later.
