It is good practise not to mix apt-get and aptitude, choose one and use it
exclusively.
So either "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade"
or "aptitude update && aptitude upgrade".
Aptitude is better at working though dependency and conflict issues but
apt-get is also fine.

I see as a problem that you used 'aptitude upgrade' instead 'aptitude
dist-upgrade'. On my test machine I use aufs, thanks to which I could
re-testing of the upgrade from 3.5.13.2 to R14.0.0.
In the case of 'aptitude dist-upgrade' on my test machine upgrade always go
smoothly. Where I used 'apt-get dist-upgrade' there is a problem with
tdelibs-data, as in your case.
