Description: The GNU Bourne Again SHell
 Bash is an sh-compatible command language interpreter that executes
 commands read from the standard input or from a file. Bash also
 incorporates useful features from the Korn and C shells (ksh and csh).
 .
 Bash is ultimately intended to be a conformant implementation of the
 IEEE POSIX Shell and Tools specification (IEEE Working Group 1003.2).
 .
 Included in the bash package is the Programmable Completion Code, by
 Ian Macdonald.

Either the /etc/bash.bashrc has to be fixed our possible a simlink between the two locations needs to be created.

It is, IMHO, not in the wrong location. AFAIK, binaries in /usr/bin/ are
meant for users and binaries in /usr/lib are for "internal" usage. So,
it is in the right place because users are not supposed to call
command-not-found themselves.

If my previous comment is indeed correct, fixing /etc/bash.bashrc seems
to be the right choice.

Promoting to high as it makes c-n-f not usable with current releases.

This bug can be fixed by either patching bash: /etc/bash.bashrc to point to the new location of command-not-found OR by patching command-not-found to include a symlink that will be deprecated with future releases.

Changed in command-not-found:

Can this bug be marked as resolved?

Package bash-3.2-0ubuntu11, as used in xubuntu7.10, appears to correctly reference /usr/lib/command-not-found in /etc/bash.bashrc.

Yes, we can mark it as resolved. I just don't know how to do that :-)
