Since you gave us this information, this shows that you were indeed
interested in debugging the problem and wanted help.

As you have seen, giving errors or system feedback is extremely useful
in problem solving. Just complaining "it doesn't work" is not, let's
just say, a sign of maturity. Giving such information helps readers to
see what could be the problem and post relevant responses efficiently.
This is helpful to everyone, to you and to readers, and keeps the list
noise down. Could you please keep this in mind in future.

>From the info you pasted above, all seems to be working fine. Next, what
happens when you do:
$> sudo aptitude safe-upgrade

Regards.
