Either edit sources.list on the command line and upgrade using the command

sources.list "behind its back".  Alternatively, simply clicking the "Reload"
button in Synaptic will resolve the issue (as would "sudo apt-get update").

Any packages which are not on the CD, but have newer versions in the central
repository, will be downloaded.
