No as long as you dont do an update or whatnot...

I recommend the synaptic.dsl bud

Code Sample

update
update is used to resynchronize the package index files from their sources

Code Sample

upgrade
upgrade is used to install the newest versions of all packages currently installed on the system from the sources enumerated in /etc/apt/sources.list

man apt-get

That might help clear things up
