is there a way to see the changelog (of upgrades) of packages on synaptic? on apt-get? using the website?
I'd like to see why I am upgrading a package that appears in synaptic as upgradable...
also, is there a place where upgradable packages are advertised other than the critical (official) security updates? thanks...

Sure, just highlight the package name in Synaptic.
Then from the main menu:

Package > Download Changelog

or use packages.ubuntu.com...

so obvious... feeling like a stupid... and hoping to stop asking stupid questions some time soon...

I really appreciate your help, especially considering the question, now that I know the answer...

Thanks so much.

PS. nice feature!
