Personally I'd suggest the *first* thing we should do is see what Mikes
/etc/apt/sources.list looks like. I'd bet it's got missing repos and as such
dependencies could not be fulfilled.
I have never had much luck with aptitude, it has broken systems twice for me
so i leave it well alone and only use apt now.
