<br>
You probably did one upgrade in synaptic based on a slightly older version of the package database, and when that was done you got a fresh copy of the database and were then able to upgrade to all the changes that were made during the time between the first and second time you downloaded the database.<br>
<br>
It's also possible that there were simply new programs added while you<br>
were doing the first upgrade. There is so much software in the repositories that it's extremely likely they are any moment something you have loaded is getting updated.<br>

yeah. but why did apt-get upgrade it after I had already upgraded<br>
with synaptic?<br>

the update refreshes your package cache. that would mean there were<br>
changes between the last time and this time you updated the cache.<br>

you know, I merrily did an upgrade with synaptic and the little icon<br>
by the clock showed that all was well. for some reason I decided to<br>
run 'apt-get update' 'apt-get upgrade' and more files upgraded.<br>
why?? :-)~MIKE~(-:<br>
