For Synaptic I would look around /var/log as thats where most log files are
generally kept. I would almost be certain that there's some sort of
transaction log. I know Slackware and Fedora Core have both implemented this
so that there are time stamped logs of when a particular package was
installed.  You may want to scope out /etc/udev/rules.d which is where those
rules live on my boxen and see if the time stamp is from today or gives any
clue as to when it might have last been changed.

I'm almost certain that 2216 is referring to the process ID however if its
the same on every boot then of course that wouldn't be the case.
