Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
aptitude: Depends: libapt-pkg-libc6.2-3-2-3.2
E: Sorry, broken packages
But:
chardonnay:store/debmirror# apt-cache show apt

Description: Advanced front-end for dpkg
[several times due to many entries in sources.list]
So, apt provides 'libapt-pkg-libc6.2-3-2-3.2'. Naturally, apt is installed.
Why can't aptitude be installed then?

The report shows the problem, the installed version of APT inexplicably
does not provide exactly the correct version and yet has the same version
number.
