Hey-
When I try to do an upgrade with aptitude, it spits this out at me:

There are several essential packages in there that I don't want to remove. What should I do? I've always used apt-get instead of aptitude, but I've decided to migrate to aptitude after my fresh install.
I used
Code:
aptitude update
aptitude upgrade
This is the command I used that resulted in aptitude wanting to remove packages.
I understand now that "aptitude upgrade" is a depreciated command, and that I should use safe-upgrade or full-upgrade instead. Could this be causing the problem? Also, should I use safe-upgrade or full-upgrade on a regular basis (I assume safe)?
Thanks a lot.
