No, it does not. When I ran that command it did not produce any
output. What is it supposed to do?

I now believe that aptitude, apt-get cannot do what I am looking for
unless the /etc/apt/sources.list is modified accordingly. But updating
/etc/apt/sources.list is not the "correct" way to address my ask.
