mixing syanptic and aptitude

[Kamaraju S Kusumanchi <kamaraju@bluebottle.com>]

Sometime before, I read on this list that it is unwise to mix apt-get and
aptitude. By mix, I mean using apt-get one time and aptitude another time.
The reason given was that both of them use different databases. Is this
true for synaptic and aptitude as well? Can I use synaptic sometimes and
aptitude some other times? Any ideas?

I am using Etch (testing) if it matters.

thanks
raju
