That's *not* aptitude's interactive resolver.  That's "simulate" mode in 
aptitude.

Aptitude's interactive resolver allows you to reject (deny) or accept (force) 
certain *parts* of a solution, refining your request, and then search for 
another solution that will not contain the parts you rejected and must contain 
the parts you accepted.

It can be used in the CLI with the "r <action#>" or "a <action#>" answers to 
the "Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?] " prompt.  It can be used in the curses 
UI by [e]xamining a solution, and then [a]ccepting or [r]ejecting proposed 
actions (top pane) or potential actions (bottom pane).
