For the FreshRPMS Valhalla Synaptic, I have reliably always gotten Synaptic to run. But with the current FreshRPMS Psyche Synaptic, half the time it seems to want the "update" seeded before Synaptic even starts or sometimes Synaptic will *immediately* close out with an error message that it can't find the apt databases. To provide instructions that will reliably work 100% of the time for a novice, I would still recommend doing the apt-get update manually the first time since if the FreshRPMS for RH Psyche Synaptic decides it will auto-exit then the big "update" button for the novice to click on will never show up.
