Synaptic Package Manager

hi

I have Lenny with Gnome installed.
Does Synaptic Package Manager use apt-get or aptitude?

Synaptic is a graphical package management program for apt. It provides the same features as the apt-get command line utility with a GUI front-end based on Gtk+.

You were one google away from the answer, newbie!

$ apt-cache depends synaptic
synaptic
