In the update-command-not-found implementation here:
/usr/sbin/update-command-not-found
the following lines seem important:
command_files = glob.glob("/var/lib/apt/lists/*Contents*")
if len(command_files) > 0:
col = DbCreator(command_files)
col.create(db)
If I understand this correctly, it is looking for certain files in the
/var/lib/apt/lists directory, specifically files named like *Contents*.
However, on my system there are no *Contents* files in that directory
(the directory exists but the files there have different names, nothing
with "Contents") so command_files becomes empty and consequently no
database is created, and no error message is given, since the
len(command_files) > 0 condition is not satisfied.
So, it seems like the update-command-not-found implementation assumes
that certain files in /var/lib/apt/lists/ are named in a certain way,
but in my case the files there are named differently and then no
database is created.
