No output text when updating mint, is that a problem? [on hold]

Multi tool use
When trying to update, it looks like this:
~ $ sudo aptitude update
[sudo] password for (user):
(my pc) ~ $
There is no output displayed.
I am pretty sure this is a result of this code that I entered in the terminal because I wasn't able to authenticate files.
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
sudo rm -rf /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*`
Is it a problem that I get no output text and how could I get output text back?
command-line apt updates

Mint is not an official Ubuntu flavor, so it's off-topic here. Please ask on Unix & Linux instead.
