Debian (buster) requiring iwlwifi-5000[1-5].ucode

During Debian (buster) installation, I got a message telling me that the files iwlwifi-5000[1-5].ucode were needed. I first finished installing without the files.

Then, after reading this related page:

https://packages.debian.org/buster/all/firmware-iwlwifi/download

I have added the following line to the file /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian buster main non-free

but when running the command:

aptitude search iwlwifi

I don't get any result.

Did I forget something or did anything the wrong way?

A stupid mistake for those often using aptitude or apt. I had forgotten to run:

aptitude update

after modifying the file /etc/apt/sources.list

Hoping this will be useful to someone.
