No, that's the apt help output.

Title:
  Apt update takes around a full minute to read state information when I
  run it for the first time since boot even though there are no updates
  available.

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When I ran "sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade", apt hit all the
  repositories. However, when it was reading state information, that
  process took a full minute even though there were no new updates.

  This is too slow, even though the subsequent time I ran the command,
  it was much faster. No, this was not the first time I ever ran the
  command on the current install, as I ran it the day before without
  reinstalling Ubuntu, on Ubuntu 20.04, and the process took less than
  15 seconds.
