After making the AptonCD and then using apton to "restore" the packages it
"presumably" copies packages to the appropriate directory - but how does
synaptic know that the latest (or whatever version) of packages are present
and show it in Synaptic.

I took the long route - after using the restore option i opened synaptic and
"reloaded" the packages on live internet and once it should the updates
"killed" the internet connection and then installed the packages - and the
installations went well - no noise from synaptic.

But therein lies the problem so how does one work with aptoncd's without the
internet -
would love to get the answer to that
