Package: apt-get
Version: aptitude
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Dependencies not being the proper version.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Attempt to install the right dependencies
* What was the outcome of this action?
"<package> will not be installed. Seriously? Thats your error message? That
says NOTHING. I only intuited that it was because of broken dependencies
because of some elitist wackos offhandedly mentioning it online. and I STILL
don't know how to fix dependencies like this.
Make aptitude return informative error messages instead of cryptic bullshit

There is no 'apt-get' package and there is not enough information for
this to be useful. Besides, it seems you are also running Ubuntu (and
not Debian). I would suggest you try to reproduce your situation with
recent Debian (preferably sid) and then report a bug against the correct
package. If you need any assistance with Debian there are several
support channels:
http://www.debian.org/support

Kind regards,
Andrei
