Oh I have fond memories of aptitude breaking my system. Once it suggested me to remove most of my system, including apt, I thought it was going to upgrade it so I confirmed it. I had to reinstall apt from the debian packages website.
In this new installation I gave it another try but when it started suggesting very weird plans(like remove all gnome packages) I happily went back to apt and never looked back.
