command-not-found Crashing

It seems like you are missing command-not-found-data, but command-not-found depends on it..

Do you have the most recent version of the packages installed?

$ dpkg -l | grep command-not-found
ii command-not-found 0.2.7 Suggest installation of packages in interact
ii command-not-found-data 0.2.7 Set of data files for command-not-found.

Both packages are installed. I went as far as to remove both, then reinstall them. I still get this error:

/usr/bin/python: can't open file '/usr/lib/command-not-found': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

I can pull this directory from another system; but am curious as to why this is happening after I installed my patches.

Hmm I guess I know what's causing this.

A per another bug we've moved c-n-f from /usr/bin to /usr/lib since it's not a end-user application really. This is probably a bug in the packaging script that fails to put c-n-f in that directory.

@Steve Illgen: Thanks for your bugreport.
Could you please attach the output of:
$ dpkg -l command-not-found command-not-found-data bash
$ dpkg -L command-not-found
$ dpkg -L command-not-found-data
$ ls -l /usr/bin/python /usr/lib/command-not-found

What shell do you use (zsh maybe)?

Thanks,
 Michael

From the output of "dpkg -l command-not-found" it seems like command-not-found is not installed after all? (status "rc").

What does happen now, if you try to execute an unknown command?

What's the output of
set | grep -C 2 command-not-found
?

It works(!) now after I installed the latest patch fixes for Gutsy this
morning. The only problem is, I still get the "rc" status for
command-not-found with dpkg -l.

Here is the output:

1. I get the following after entering an unknown command:

root@sillgen-ub:~# saa
-su: saa: command not found
root@sillgen-ub:~#

(which is expected).

2. Nothing returns after entering 'set | grep -C 2 command-not-found'

root@sillgen-ub:~# set | grep -C 2 command-not-found
root@sillgen-ub:~#

jaakan@AMD64:~$ ehtop

jaakan@AMD64:~$ ehtop'import site' failed; use -v for traceback

KABOOOM!!!

Whoops, command-not-found has crashed! Please file a bug report at:

I did a C+Ctrl as soon as I saw I miss typed htop

I ran it again as ehtop

and got

jaakan@AMD64:~$ ehtop
-bash: ehtop: command not found
jaakan@AMD64:~$

Not sure if I would call this a bug or not

Hi,

After starting up my laptop today I ended up with more of less the same error msg as above and was thrown into a root shell.
I can' t even start simple commands like "locate" and "apt-get" etc.

How do I update/upgrade my system now? I have internet connection I believe but I can't run the command "apt-get".

Thanks,
Bastiaan

This doesn't look like the error originally reported, it looks like you don't have libgcc_s.so.1.

Did you upgrade your system recently (if so please describe the process)?
Did you have a power failure recently?

I updated the system on Saturday.

No power failures. ( run a webserver on the same power net so I know it for sure)

I just noticed that I can't access the /home dir.. so a disk failure after all??
Some parts of the system do work though. I can browse through /usr/bin and /usr/lib/ but can't find python2.5 dir in it.

So Whats the best? Use a fresh CD and reinstall and see if I can save my system setup? Or is there a restore like functionality?

Upgrade: Just upgraded the packages that where listed. I didn't really have a look in the list.

It appears the original issue reported in this bug is fixed, as such I am closing this bug. If this is still an issue for you in the latest version of Ubuntu (which is Hardy right now) please reopen this bug.

Thanks!
