Ctl-u didn't work so I must have tried it too late. I don't think I
tried to apply '+' at a high level. Perhaps this is how I got in the
pickle to begin with; I have a high level selected and while moving
through the menus I must have accidently selected remove!
I think this is a bad flaw in the program. I doubt there is a need
for removing packages at the all packages installed level. Why not
just reinstall?
Thanks for the info.

Quick question for those who don't have time to read the whole saga
below: aptitude shows all packages selected for deletion (don't know
how I got it into that state.) How do I unselect all the packages

<snip long explanation>
Ctl-u before exiting aptitude (as many times as necessary) will
take you
back to the status when you opened the program. If you quit aptitude
before undoing, undo won't work.
However, if you press 'g' once and you are shown all the packages
to be
deleted, you can then apply '+' or '=' to the heading or subheading
which says something like 'packages to be removed ....'. Your choice
to hold or upgrade should be applied to all the subsidiary packages.
