Errm.. I think this will depend how apt is configured? If 
/etc/apt/sources.list is pointing to repositories for e.g. previous 
version of O/S then the effects could be interesting. Hopefully it would 
do nothing, or want to upgrade x zillion packages...

Never tried that so am only guessing btw.

Probably just edit the config files for the tools (I've no idea what 
synaptic is) but apt probably just needs pointing to the relevant 
repository for FC2
