Sorry, should have mentioned it on my previous msg:Suggestion: if you install apt-get from Dag Wieers' repo, it comes with many useful repos pre-configured, each on its own .list config file on/etc/apt/sources.list.d dir.
I downloaded it from the link in the wiki, whereever that was. I'll see if I can find the one you mention.

Removed the apt I installed, downloaded the one you suggested, updated it, upgraded my system, installed synaptic, ran synaptic.
I'm impressed. *That's* what I was looking for. :) Thanks.
