Did you figure out what prompted the issue? apt-get and aptitude (which
is to be preferred these days) rarely mess up badly if the packages are
in reasonable shape. Although both do tell you what they intend to do
and ask for confirmation by default.

I've had a couple of similar issues, almost always including packages
from third party repositories, or when tracking Debian Unstable or
Debian testing.
Debian Testing... might be the issue. Lappy's running Squeeze and has
been for a while. As in about a month or so before it was 'released'

And as to what it was going to do, it printed up a huge and cryptic
list of mostly libs, i scanned, didnt look like anything too
dangerous... but there must have been backscroll i didnt read which
had actual programs (Like Tomboy- which i use for reminders)

I'd ditch tomboy for Gnote ( I believe it reads the same xml files) and then you can get rid of that ghastly mono
From an ex C# programmer....
Tom te tom te tom
