Bug Description

When typing an invalid command name, I expect an error, but I do not get one unless the database has alternatives:

mbt@zest:~$ afsdasdfasdfasdf
mbt@zest:~$ asdfasdfasdfasfajsgfahghags
mbt@zest:~$ echo $?
127
mbt@zest:~$ lsls
No command 'lsls' found, did you mean:
 Command 'lslk' from package 'lslk' (universe)
mbt@zest:~$ ldld
No command 'ldld' found, did you mean:
 Command 'ldd' from package 'libc6' (main)
 Command 'tdld' from package 'tdl' (universe)
mbt@zest:~$ echo $?
127
mbt@zest:~$

This is in a just-updated Karmic install.

 (0.2.37ubuntu3).

It *is* a problem:

mbt@zest:~$ asdfasdfasdf
mbt@zest:~$ echo $?
127
mbt@zest:~$ lsls
No command 'lsls' found, did you mean:

mbt@zest:~$ echo $?

mbt@zest:~$

At this time there are no available updates for my system (I just did an apt-get update followed by a dist-upgrade).

I just created a new stock user account, and the same thing happened there as well. If an SSH account would help to troubleshoot, I will happily make one provided that a public key is provided (no password).

I just checked and this seems to be caused by the new bash-4.0 release.

So it seems that the behaviour of the shell changed and it does no longer print a error message itself. I will let command-not-found print one.

Was that by design, or does someone need to file a bug upstream?

I'm thinking a bug... no news is good news, not the inverse...
