Hi, > Aptitude should not be used when apt is used. (Adept and Synaptics > use apt)
If I remember correctly (I ceased to use apt a long ago), aptitude stores more information than apt, so if you mix the two tools, the aptitude-specific information doesn't get updated. An important difference between the two tools is this: Suppose that package A depends on package B and that you install package A. Then, package B is also automatically installed, whether you use apt or aptitude. The difference arises when you uninstall package A. Aptitude remembers that package B was automatically installed, so that when you uninstall package A, package B is also uninstalled. This magic doesn't work if you installed package A with apt and uninstall it with aptitude, because apt didn't store the information that package B was automatically installed.
