If you are only going to upgrade one package just name the package, I don't remember ever having to give a version number with aptitude. If you are going to upgrade a chosen selection of packages you may as well use a GUI (synaptic) and select them visually.

If one is asking aptitude to upgrade a particular version of a particular
package, surely one has to name the package as well as the version?  And the
version one wants, not the version one has??
