So exercising an abundance of caution I usually stick with synaptic.
Maybe on my next install I'll look into Aptitude.
What do you do when X dies or needs changing?


I don't understand the question.  Aptitude doesn't need X.  It's an
ncurses/command-line app.  Usually, I run it (curses interface) from a
VT when I'm logged out of X.



I think they meant synaptic, not aptitude. The point is exactly that, that you don't need X for aptitude, but you do for synaptic.
