You might want to use aptitude as it is the default package manager for
lenny (and subsequent releases) for reasons like better dependency

You're right. I had taken the (bad) habit to use apt-get on other
computers, and, once you have begun using apt-get, it's better not to
use aptitude, isn't it?

No, it's just generally better. If you encounter problems while mixing
apt-get and aptitude please try to reproduce and report them.
