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

[Peter Maloney]

seems to work so I'll just close this


# mkpasswd
The program 'mkpasswd' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
apt install whois

# lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS
Release:        16.04
Codename:       xenial


** Changed in: command-not-found (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Fix Released

Title:
  whois contains mkpasswd but is not suggested when the command is typed
  and not installed

Status in command-not-found package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  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
