Using Ubuntu 8.04, I put the lenny repository into synaptic and updated all the files that appeared to be associated with Gretl. I then deactivated the lenny repository because synaptic wanted to update ~600 other files. Everything seems to be working fine. So, assuming that I have not broken something I have yet to discover, what functions do the APT commands serve (I am a beginner on linux)? Thanks for the help.
