Ah .... we are using aptitude for completely different purposes.
I've never attempted to upgrade a release with it. Not once. Ubuntu has
do-release-upgrade for that purpose, which mostly works for supported distro
upgrades.
OTOH, for maintaining a current Ubuntu release
$ sudo aptitude update
$ sudo aptitude dist-upgrade
weekly works flawlessly. Yes, I know dist-upgrade is deprecated (full-upgrade
is the new option), but it will install a newer kernel for Ubuntu while leaving
the release alone. It will not upgrade 12.04 to 14.04 or any other release.
