Why do apt-get and aptitude differ?



Recently, apt-get dist-upgrade has wanted to knock out lots of
packages (37), while aptitude doesn't want to eliminate any.

aptitude's changes are much more extensive than apt-get upgrade's.

Can anyone explain what accounts for these differences?

P.S. Something seems a bit wrong that apt-get wants to knock out so
many packages, but I haven't chased down what dependencies are doing
this.
