Are you aware that these stipulations will exclude a "linux-something" at the lines end from being removed because there will be no space afterwards? Maybe this is not what you want. Also notice that your clause 2 means that the space immediately following the word "linux-*" will be removed too.
If your goal is indeed to remove the last match too i'd suggest:
If you want to retain the blank following the word but would not want to add a space at the end of the string then this:
I hope this helps.

Any of the two work, because the apt command uses space as argument separator, when there are one or more spaces at the end they are ignored and two or more spaces in any place are condensed into one.

write
WRITE(1) User Commands WRITE(1)NAME
write - send a message to another user
SYNOPSIS
write user [ttyname]
DESCRIPTION
Write allows you to communicate with other users, by copying lines from your terminal to theirs.
When you run the write command, the user you are writing to gets a message of the form:
Message from yourname@yourhost on yourtty at hh:mm ...
Any further lines you enter will be copied to the specified user's terminal. If the other user wants to reply, they must run write as
well.
When you are done, type an end-of-file or interrupt character. The other user will see the message EOF indicating that the conversation is
over.
You can prevent people (other than the super-user) from writing to you with the mesg(1) command. Some commands, for example nroff(1) and
pr(1), may disallow writing automatically, so that your output isn't overwritten.
If the user you want to write to is logged in on more than one terminal, you can specify which terminal to write to by specifying the ter-
minal name as the second operand to the write command. Alternatively, you can let write select one of the terminals - it will pick the one
with the shortest idle time. This is so that if the user is logged in at work and also dialed up from home, the message will go to the
right place.
The traditional protocol for writing to someone is that the string `-o', either at the end of a line or on a line by itself, means that
it's the other person's turn to talk. The string `oo' means that the person believes the conversation to be over.

A write command appeared in Version 6 AT&T UNIX.
AVAILABILITY
The write command is part of the util-linux package and is available from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/.
