[Bug 121118] Re: Fiesty 7.04 ndiswrapper helpfile misinformation

[Andreas Gnau]

You are describing two different issues. I'm going to change this bug so
it describes the wrong command-not-found-message.

** Changed in: ndiswrapper (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Invalid

** Also affects: command-not-found (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Summary changed:

- Fiesty 7.04 ndiswrapper helpfile misinformation 
+ command-not-found suggests ndiswrapper-common instead of ndiswrapper-utils-1.9

** Description changed:

- Someone should update the Feisty 7.04 Helpfile to reflect the changes
- regarding ndiswrapper. When troubleshooting your internet from the help
- menu, it says for wireless cards to run ndiswrapper, and that it's
- included on the CD. I was told on the forums that it is NOT included on
- the Feisty 7.04 desktop CD.
- 
  
  However, if you try to use ndiswrapper as a command, not knowing that it WAS NOT installed with Feist, it says:
  
  The program 'ndiswrapper' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
  sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-common'
  
  
  But when you type the above command, you get:
  
  kate at Rinukusu:~$ sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-common
  Reading package lists... Done
  Building dependency tree       
  Reading state information... Done
  E: Couldn't find package ndiswrapper-common
  
  Just a minor issue that creates headaches for new Ubuntu users. (I.E.
  myself.)
