sudo aptitude full-upgrade and apt-get dist-upgrade do the same thing,  
basically. The attempt to reslove dependency issues, removing files if  
needed. They just do it slightly differently.

apt-get update and aptitude update are identical, they tell you what new  
versions are available.

The safe-upgrade and upgrade options will never remove any packages at all.

You have to do an update first to get the list of newer packages, either  
with apt-get or aptitude.

sudo aptitude full-upgrade just happens to solve a problem that sudo  
apt-get dist-upgrade doesn’t in this case.
