That won't do what you think. It only shows packages that conflict with <package-name>; if the package is being removed because it's not used any more or because aptitude thinks its queued state is "remove", it won't help. I don't really understand what happened to the OP, but it sounds like maybe there are some conflicting selection states or unused packages, in which case he wants "aptitude keep-all".
