1. If /var/cache/apt/archives/ has the same or later version version of a package, will Synaptic and apt-get automatically use contents of /var/cache/apt/archives/ in preference to downloading whatever is at location specified by sources.list?
Same version : yes. Later version : no.
2. If there is no internet connection at the moment, will Synaptic and apt-get use the latest version in /var/cache/apt/archives/ ?
apt-get uses a version in the cache if and only if it matches the requested version, regardless of the internet connectivity.
1) apt decides which version of a package it wants. 2) If that package version is present in the cache, it uses it. 3) Otherwise, it selects a mirror and downloads it from there.
