It is work in progress. For now you will have to "apt-get update" and
then you can use aptitude for everything else.

I never use aptitude and after doing a test upgrade of an older sid to
current with aptitude I'm verry much affirmed on that. The last ~50
packages I upgraded with "apt-get upgrade" again because the aptitude
interface just wouldn't just do it.

Aptitude even suggested I downgrade some package from 1.2-3 (64bit
flavour) to 1.2-3~18 (32bit flavour) despite the later being pinned
down. That is just horribly broken. apt-get just updated the package
and its dependency instead.
