RPMDrake (and urpmi)  I made local apt repository mirrors of some of the 
urpmi repositories I use that weren't already accessible by apt, but I 
missed the ability to view by repository enough that I overlooked its 
warts and switched back.  If synaptic had a "By Repository" tab on the 
filters page then it would be wonderful.

The one other thing that I can live with but still don't like is that 
the various progress and dialog boxes always come up at position (0,0) 
when I am running KDE, and so appearing _under_ the KDE panel I have 
docked at the top.  Other apps do it too so I guess it's just a GTK/KDE 
interaction thing that I need to track down.
