Bart has been around long enough to know that saying "it doesn't work" is
useless. If he wanted a solution, he'd post the actual command he gave, and
the error message he received. I suspect he just wanted to whinge :-)

Indeed. But there could be any number of reasons why "it doesn't work",
starting with wrong repos in the apt-get config, typos in the command,
wrong password for sudo, internet connection is down, or keyboard not
plugged in.
