Hence the comment about using sudo:

$ sudo aptitude update

You could even configure sudo to let you run aptitude without entering
a password, though it's not a bad idea to keep that particular safety
valve in place.  Since you wouldn't be running as root, and you
wouldn't configure sudo to let you run apt-get as root from your user
account, you'd never have to worry about accidentally running apt-get
instead of aptitude.
