“Synaptic Package Manager has been removed from the Ubuntu 11.10
Oneiric Ocelot CD, but it’s still available in the repositories so
you can install it via Ubuntu Software Center.“This was an expected move but it’s still a bit weird because
there are quite a few features available in Synaptic which are
still missing in Ubuntu Software Center, like upgrade/downgrade
functionality, lock packages to the current version and so on. But
of course, there are 4 months till Ubuntu 11.10 is released so
Ubuntu Software Center might get some (or all) of these missing
features.”
