Package: command-not-found Version: 18.04.5-1 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer, Trying to execute any command that is not found (e.g. entering aaaa at the command line) gives the following output: ----------------------------------- Could not find the database of available applications, run update-command-not-found as root to fix this Sorry, command-not-found has crashed! Please file a bug report at: http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting Please include the following information with the report: command-not-found version: 0.3 Python version: 3.7.3 final 0 Distributor ID: PureOS Description: PureOS Release: 8 Codename: green Exception information: local variable 'cnf' referenced before assignment Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/command-not-found/CommandNotFound/util.py", line 23, in crash_guard callback() File "/usr/lib/command-not-found", line 93, in main if not cnf.advise(args[0], options.ignore_installed) and not options.no_failure_msg: UnboundLocalError: local variable 'cnf' referenced before assignment ------------------------------------ The first line of the output suggests to run update-command-not-found as root but doing that does not help. Doing "sudo update-command-not-found" gives no output at all, no error message, seemingly it worked OK but the next time command-not-found is run the same error message comes anyway. Maybe update-command-not-found does not work properly, or maybe it places the database in a different location than where command-not-found looks for the database, I don't know. There also seems to be a problem around line 93 in the /usr/lib/command-not-found code where it tries to use the "cnf" variable regardless of the success or failure of the assignment a few lines above. But if I understand correctly that is just a consequence of the problem that the database is not found even after running update-command-not-found. What I expected: I expected it to not crash but instead say something like either "command not found" or "the command can be installed using apt install x". -- System Information: Distributor ID: PureOS Description: PureOS Release: 8 Codename: green Architecture: x86_64 Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-5-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages command-not-found depends on: ii apt-file 3.2.2 ii lsb-release 10.2019031300pureos1 ii python3 3.7.3-1 ii python3-apt 1.8.4pureos1 command-not-found recommends no packages.
