gftp-common should depend on gftp-text|gftp-gtk

Thanks for reporting this issue and helping to make Ubuntu better.

All the dependencies are correct. gftp-text and gftp-gftk depend on gftp-common because they both need gftk-common be installed in order to work. gftp is a "meta"-package which installs both gftp-text and gftp-gftk.

Therefore, this report will be closed.

This is NOT a fix. The fix would be to add the following to the output:

OLD:

sudo apt-get install gftp-common

NEW:

sudo apt-get install gftp-common gftp

See the problem here:

I believe that this is only a change to the command-not-found program. If the change doesn't happen there, you can increase the dependencies of gftp from gftp-common to gftp-common and gftp.

I added a exception to the data extraction code.

This bug was fixed in the package command-not-found - 0.2.36ubuntu1
