In complex cases (like this one?), aptitude is worse than apt-get to
find the right dependencies. It sometimes wants to remove a package
instead of upgrading it, see e.g.
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=570377
(the ncurses interface, which I always use by default, has the same
problem).
