I don't know why it would do that.  Well, it shouldn't ask about
deleting one thousand packages if you asked it to install one package...
but it certainly is supposed to ask about installing that one package
*after* informing you that it would remove one thousand packages in
order to do that.

Note that I am assuming neither of you did "aptitude -y", that would be
bad and would also explain what happened.

Try this when you open a root session (in a typical console, and
certainly in a typical graphical terminal):
