The issue is: I want to install some packages using synaptic (or even apt-get will do) but those packages are not appearing in synaptic and apt-get is returning some kind of 'package not found' error. (That was the reason I thought that updates from update manager might be needed.) What can I do to fix this? -- Mihir Mehta, B.
