...which is not too hard to paste:

aptitude dist-upgrade

  This command will also attempt to upgrade packages, but it is more
  aggressive about solving dependency problems: it will install and
  remove packages until all dependencies are satisfied.  Because of the
  nature of this command, it is possible that it will do undesirable
  things, and so you should be careful when using it.
