There probably has been some confusion of information between the
combination of package management you've used. I think the easiest way
to clear the problem would be to run aptitude in visual mode, search for
minitube ('/') and set its status to purge ('_'), then use 'g' to
process the changes.

At this point you may find there are other packages that aptitude wants
to add or remove, you can set them to the desired status in the preview
screen.

Cheers,
Tom
