All sbopkg's sync does is sync its local repo with SBo's online repo. If
you go into the "Updates" section of the program, it will present you with
a list of packages that are installed that have had either the VERSION or
BUILD variables (or both) change from what you have installed.

However, since sbopkg itself doesn't track dependencies (that is kinda done
with sqg), it won't/can't notify you of new packages you need to install.
Other programs that interact with SBo are able to provide this
functionality if it's something you're looking for, but I'm not familiar
enough with them to provide guidance on what to use.
