Well I'm not the right one to advice on the use of repositories other than that I am using YUM as adviced here:
http://www.fedorafaq.org/#installsoftware
and please read the instruction/warnings in the yum.conf file with regards to include / exclude repositories.
Also, I successfully upgraded my clamav using synaptic and I now have the following version: 0.85.1.4-fc3.
Are you not able to resinstall synaptic through apt-get? Seems to work for me:
[root@localhost truls]# apt-get install synaptic Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done synaptic is already the newest version. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 removed and 0 not upgraded. [root@localhost truls]#
