Use aptitude in full-screen mode so you can see what is happening.
I do this a lot and find it helpful--particularly when resolving dependency
conflicts.
Still the CUI is no substitute for knowing how to use the aptitude command-

And indeed the FM in this case is in a somewhat unpredictable place:
/usr/share/aptitude/README
(I don't have any aptitude-doc package installed, and hence the
reference from the man page is not helpful to me)
