This remembers me that I also had in the past many problems once I installed from faulty CDs with broken checksums. There where conflicts during the distribution upgrade and resolution calculations tooks really long (multiple minutes). It always stoped once a faulty package was touched, I repaired the package manually by copying it from another source and restarted aptitude. Now I waited again multiple minutes for the first broken package and the resolver didn't continue, I fixed it, ... It is not identical to this problem but common is that aptitude should properly work also with faulty packages.
