aptitude stuck "resolving dependencies..."

This morning I ran

$ sudo aptitude update
$ aptitude --simulate safe-upgrade
Resolving dependencies...
open: 16431; closed: 11272; defer: 105; conflict: 54

At this point it kept churning; the number of open dependencies kept
increasing. Because of this I haven't run a real upgrade.
How do I determine what is happening and whether a real upgrade
would run normally?
