[Bug 2117085] Re: Could not find command-not-found database. on Questing

[3vi1]

Can confirm - did fresh install yesterday and ran into this same
problem.

This appears even worse than bug 2110346, because there are absolutely
no *cnf* lists in the /var/lib/apt/lists directory.

Running sudo apt update doesn't change the symptoms.  Even threw in a
reboot just in case something needed to be reinitialized after the
update.

Title:
  Could not find command-not-found database. on Questing

Status in command-not-found package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This might be a duplicate of bug 2110346, but I don't remember seeing
  this message before.

  When attempting to run any command for packages which aren't installed
  on Questing I get the following error message:

  $ example
  Could not find command-not-found database. Run 'sudo apt update' to populate it.
  example: fant ikke kommando

  
  `apt update` doesn't seem to change anything.
