Description

I know there shouldn't be nothing wrong with the command sudo apt-get install numix-wallpaper-aurora itself, but I think thefuck shouldn't be suggesting me to install other package.

Research direction
Investigate the apt get rule in thefuck's rules directory. The issue suggests that when a user runs 'sudo apt get install numix wallpaper aurora', thefuck incorrectly suggests installing a different package. Look at the rule's logic for matching package names and see if it uses a faulty lookup or substitution. The code is in Python, so familiarity with the rule structure is needed. There is no linked PR or recent comments, so the fix would involve modifying the rule to correctly handle the package name.
