No, Scott:

Apropos gave these results.
gnustep-examples: nothing appropriate.
gnustep-gui-runtime: nothing appropriate.
gworkspace.app: nothing appropriate.
wmaker-common: nothing appropriate.

The following resulted.
{grep '^[^#]' /etc/apt/sources.list{,.d/*}
No matches for wildcard “/etc/apt/sources.list{,.d/*}”.
fish: grep '^[^#]' /etc/apt/sources.list{,.d/*}

I used synaptic to install apt-file. Then in a Terminal window, I ran
apt-file update.

wmaker-common:: command not found
}
So I used synaptic to install wmaker-common.
But in a Terminal window, that was remarked as absent!
{
apropos wmaker-common
wmaker-common: nothing appropriate.
}
wmaker-common
So I used Synaptic to reinstall it.
Yet the same apropos test failed again. I don't understand this!
