Now I am confused !!!
So, do I just issue
sudo aptitude full-upgrade
sudo aptitude full-upgrade and apt-get dist-upgrade do the same thing,
basically. The attempt to reslove dependency issues, removing files if
needed. They just do it slightly differently.
apt-get update and aptitude update are identical, they tell you what new
versions are available.
The safe-upgrade and upgrade options will never remove any packages at all.
and not bother with the sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
method ?
You have to do an update first to get the list of newer packages, either
with apt-get or aptitude.
sudo aptitude full-upgrade just happens to solve a problem that sudo
apt-get dist-upgrade doesn’t in this case.
Hey, it's only one command, I might even get to remember that one ;-)
Thanks,
Phill.

aptitude does not have dist-upgrade. It has full-upgrade and
safe-upgrade
which
are the dist-upgrade and upgrade counterparts from apt-get.
sudo aptitude dist-upgrade works on my machine, although I believe
full-upgrade is supposed to be used now.
