Folks, learn to use the web site. Just surf over to [1] and you can
query the current package database. For example, entering "aptitude"
into the form and choosing "any" as Distribution shows you what
distributions carry aptitude as a package [2] (and which versions
of said package are in each distrib).

For aptitude, it turns out that aptitude is in wheezy (aka 7, aka
(currently) oldoldstable), jessie (aka 8, aka oldstable), stretch
(aka 9, aka stable), buster (aka testing) and sid (aka unstable).

Thus either the icon in Synaptics is wrong (check your package
sources, check your update status) or whatever Synaptics is trying
to tell you with this icon is not what you think it's telling you.

Personally, I've perceived Synaptics as pretty unpredictable, but
I've never found out whether it's the program or it's me.

Cheers
