When you first launch Synaptic, there's no pop-up screen nor more information for the "reload" but there still should be run, and that's why it takes a bit of time to get Synaptic available and ready to work. > This is not any kind of rant.

I don't use Synaptic ever day (I prefer "apt-get update") but true is that I don't recall seeing the reload status screen unless I manually trigger the "Reload" button.
