[Bug 1301880] [NEW] whois contains mkpasswd but is not suggested when the command is typed and not installed

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I don't really care which package it is in, but you should probably make
the package suggestions include it.

# mkpasswd
or
# /usr/lib/command-not-found mkpasswd
No command 'mkpasswd' found, did you mean:
 Command 'kpasswd' from package 'heimdal-clients' (universe)
 Command 'kpasswd' from package 'krb5-user' (universe)
 Command 'kpasswd' from package 'openafs-kpasswd' (universe)
 Command 'tkpasswd' from package 'expect-dev' (main)
mkpasswd: command not found


Related to bug 284416 but I don't want to reopen that one. I am not suggesting splitting the package.

on openSUSE, the equivalent works fine:

# mkpasswd
If 'mkpasswd' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this:
    cnf mkpasswd
# cnf mkpasswd
                        
The program 'mkpasswd' can be found in following packages:
  * whois [ path: /usr/bin/mkpasswd, repository: zypp (openSUSE:Stable_OSS) ]
  * whois [ path: /usr/bin/mkpasswd, repository: zypp (repo-oss) ]

Try installing with:
    zypper install whois

** Affects: command-not-found (Ubuntu)
