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. thanks raju -- Kamaraju S Kusumanchi | http://raju.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Blog
