1.  Why do I have to do it three days (I assume I  do this "in a row")
2.  From the "man" pages

DESCRIPTION
       aptitude is a text-based interface to the Debian GNU/Linux package
       system.

       It allows the user to view the list of packages and to perform
package
       management tasks such as installing, upgrading, and removing
packages.
       Actions may be performed from a visual interface or from the
       command-line.

If I use Synaptic, why am I even worried about the "text-based interface"?

tnx for the help
