You can just run aptitude with no parameters, and resolve conflicts interactively through the aptitude UI.

	I ended up using apt-get since it didn't complain so I cannot reproduce the situation. For future, do you mean "cat foo.txt \| xargs aptitude install; aptitude" would work? – user64996 Jun 22 '11 at 1:06
	No, I mean run `aptitude` by itself. – Kirk Jun 22 '11 at 2:23
