I think the main difference is that `r' will download the archive contents again, whereas `g' only rebuilds the tabulated list of packages that have been downloaded previously. So use `r' to check if some archive contains updated packages, and use `g' for example to revert the install/delete marks you've made in the buffer. Bye, Tassilo
