[Bug 2047742] [NEW] /usr/lib/cnf-update-db fails

[Heinrich Schuchardt]

Public bug reported:

I am running Ubuntu 24.04 on an arm64 system. /usr/lib/cnf-update-db
fails to create the database.

File /var/lib/apt/lists/ports.ubuntu.com_ubuntu-
ports_dists_noble_Contents-arm64.lz4 matches the glob
"/var/lib/apt/lists/*Contents*".

But there is no file matching "/var/lib/apt/lists/*Commands-*".

/usr/lib/cnf-update-db fails to create the database because it tries to
read "/var/lib/apt/lists/*Commands-*".

When patching the script to force reading *Contents* a database is
created in /var/lib/command-not-found.db. And with that database I
receive hints which packages are missing.


Best regards

Heinrich
