It appears that PureOS is a derivative of Debian. That means that the people responsible for PureOS changed Debian to suit their needs. Nobody outside of PureOS's maintainers and users is familiar with what they changed, so Debian users can only offer you limited help. It looks like PureOS doesn't have a mailing list or forum for their users, only a wiki and a bug tracker at: https://tracker.pureos.net/ In this case, there appear to be two issues: > I messed up! there was a process that dely I umped more info and it > overwrote!

This is a problem with a package literally called "command-not-found", which PureOS installed. You might fix this problem with sudo update-command-not-found or that might not help. -dsr-
