This only works if you have a Debian-based distro. People of non-source-based and non-Debian distros are SoL*. It’s best not to pass off all Linux distros as equal as people will get the wrong idea and go “What the f00k are wrong with me system?!”.
Note to everyone else: Check your distro.
*=there are exceptions.
