Oh I have fond memories of aptitude breaking my system. Once it suggested me to remove most of my system, including apt, I thought itwas going to upgrade it so I confirmed it. I had to reinstall apt fromthe debian packages website.
That's why I do not use simple CLI tools to manage my system. They just fail to show important stuff, by flooding a lot of informations. Using aptitude in it's ncurse mode would have prevented such a PEBCAK error, because updates and removal are shown with different colors.
But, it definitely is a user's... no, sorry, a root's error. A root should not act or think like a user. (damn, outside of linux context, that phrase really means nothing...)
