Why aptitude dist-upgrade shows some packages to update, while apt-get dist-upgrade - don't?.

I believe that this is because aptitude maintains its own record of which packages you have installed automatically and manually. If you ever use a different package manager (apt-get, synaptic), this database gets out of sync. You can get around this using "aptitude unmarkauto" - see the aptitude man page. There is also some discussion in a previous thread (http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2006/05/msg01734.html). Also, I think that aptitude installs 'recommends' as well as 'depends' dependencies.
