Yes, of course it does. Both work fine in Debian based systems.  And the 
debate continues.
I would only say that Aptitude is known or at least touted to be better 
at resolving depends
than Apt-get and that Aptitude has a graphical interface that I have had 
to use before when
I had stuborn depend issues and the cli Aptitude just wouldn't fit the 
bill.  Do you just resolve
all you stubborn depends issues by trial and error?  I suspect you do as 
you have the insight.
Sorry about Karl getting out of line again.  I guess he'll never learn 
to put his brain in gear
before racing his big mouth.  There are times I wish we had a moderated 
list or some means
of black balling someone in need of it.
