change from apt-get to aptitude

[Kogler Johannes]

Hi guys!

Thanks for your answers.

aptitude unmarkauto seems not to solve this problem. "aptitude
--simulate unmarkauto bc" tries to remove the package bc anyway.

I will give it a try! Thanks.

Is there anybody who has experience with changing from apt-get to
aptitude on Ubuntu?

Cheers
Johannes
