Synaptic out of sync?

[audriusb at homelan.lt]

Quoting Sebastian Bassi <sbassi at gmail.com>:
Don't trust to graphical backends and work with raw APT. This rule is correct
for all programs, written in classical UNIX style as console applications:
you'll restrict yourself working with graphics.
For example, try to perform the same actions on synaptic:
  #apt-cache search X | grep gnome | sort | less
This approach requires some skills of Linux commands, but benefits are obvious.
