[Bug 1867157] Re: Improve command-not-found package headers

[Łukasz Zemczak]

Hello Dimitri, or anyone else affected,

Accepted python3.8 into focal-proposed. The package will build now and
be available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python3.8/3.8.5-1~20.04 in a few
hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been
performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-
focal to verification-done-focal. If it does not fix the bug for you,
please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-
failed-focal. In either case, without details of your testing we will
not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

** Changed in: python3.8 (Ubuntu Focal)
       Status: New => Fix Committed

** Tags added: verification-needed verification-needed-focal

Bug description:
  Improve command-not-found package headers

  
  command-not-found uses package metadata, and to improve the UX of the misspelled commands / proposed packages.

  python2.7-minimal should gain XB-Cnf-Visible-Pkgname: python2.7

  python3.8-minimal should gain XB-Cnf-Visible-Pkgname: python3.8

  python2-minimal should gain XB-Cnf-Visible-Pkgname: python2

  python3-minimal should gain XB-Cnf-Visible-Pkgname: python3

  This will then improve these messages from:

  """
    command 'python2.7' from deb python2.7-minimal (2.7.17-1)
    command 'python3.8' from deb python3.8-minimal (3.8.0-5)
    command 'python2' from deb python2-minimal (2.7.17-2)
    command 'python3' from deb python3-minimal (3.7.5-1ubuntu1)
  """

  To

  """
    command 'python2.7' from deb python2.7 (2.7.17-1)
    command 'python3.8' from deb python3.8 (3.8.0-5)
    command 'python2' from deb python2 (2.7.17-2)
    command 'python3' from deb python3 (3.7.5-1ubuntu1)
  """

  
  python3 should drop
  XB-Cnf-Extra-Commands: python
  XB-Cnf-Priority-Bonus: 5

  Such that it stops suggesting that somehow python is available from
  python3 package, which is a lie.

  There is a special case for "python" command hint in command-not-found
  already, which simply points people to "python3".
