I have learn a lot of things because I used aptitude with it's
ncurses
interface. It features a preview mode, in which you can see why
things are
done. With this knowledge, you will be able to customize the
behavior made
by your update.
In complex cases (like this one?), aptitude is worse than apt-get to
find the right dependencies. It sometimes wants to remove a package
instead of upgrading it, see e.g.
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=570377
(the ncurses interface, which I always use by default, has the same
problem).

Well, I **never** use the aptitude's solutions.
One of the first things I do when using aptitude on a new computer is
disabling the "auto-repair feature" and automatic installation of
recommended packages.
Then, when I do some action which breaks something, I can fix it by
hand, using my own choices, assisted with the preview of the actions
that I use like a summary of the actions to do/stuff to fix.
I know that it probably needs more time than simply asking to softwares
to guess what you want, but I am a programmer, and I know that a program
can never guess what I have in mind, which solution I will prefer.
Especially since I do behave differently regarding computer choices than
most people.
