Does this mean that synaptic does _not_ call apt update, and that I should
always run apt update manually before clicking on synaptic?
Some experiments suggest that this is the case.
You would have to describe the experiments to have anywhere near a
convincing case that merited close attention.
1. I added "contrib non-free" to the deb lines in /etc/apt/sources.list
2. I ran synaptic, searched for "nvidia", and saw only 4 items.
3. I ran apt update
4. I ran synaptic, searched for "nvidia", and saw approximately 200 items.
