Yes, but how about this problem: how does one get aptitude's name? 

I'm doing a cross installation of debian, and need to install ssh. I'm
told that it depends on zlib1g > 1:1.1.4. Problem is that zlib1g is
either a) obsolete and unavailable, or b) zlib1g's heightest version is
1.1.4 and no higher version is available.

So your suggestion of aptitude seemed an answer. However, when I run
apt-get install aptitude, the package is not found. Do I need to know
the version of aptitude? How does one do so with without aptitude? 

Obviously, I'm a newbie to debian ;-(
