Ooops, I'm late with tarnslation update... I started update of
translation for cvs version today morning :) It's good, that strings
from synaptic.glade are in pot now, but it seems, that there are some
strings, that should not be translated (e.g. "label58").

To define existence and vesrion or RPM i'm using this:

And I have:

$ file /usr/lib/libdb.so 
/usr/lib/libdb.so: symbolic link to ../../lib/libdb-4.0.so

- if open filter editor and then close it using [x] button on the window
border - filters button and combo remain disabled.
- I think its better to revert button names for "upgrade" und
"dist-upgrade". Now upgrade is "Upgrade All", but this is better used
for dist-upgrade.
- there are different strings in code and synaptic.glage. It seems that
we have different strings in pot for the same action, and therefore it
is not clean which string will be displayed.
- when without --with-pkg-hold: we have 2 horizontal lines below
"Remove" button
