OK, after installing lspci (again, via dpkg and I write up in kind of a step by step way because other people may have the same problems, run into this thread)
$ sudo dpkg --install pciutils_3.5.2-1_amd64.deb Selecting previously unselected package pciutils. (Reading database ... 232551 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to unpack pciutils_3.5.2-1_amd64.deb ... Unpacking pciutils (1:3.5.2-1) ... Setting up pciutils (1:3.5.2-1) ...

Also, thank you for explaining to me that the matter was more of a political one, so that is why I could not understand it with a technical frame of mind. What wasn't exactly I didn't do right? or what should I do now?
