Confirmed Actually this is a bash bug. See /etc/bash.bashrc
# if the command-not-found package is installed, use it if [ -x /usr/lib/command-not-found -o -x /usr/share/command-not-found ]; then function command_not_found_handle { # check because c-n-f could've been removed in the meantime if [ -x /usr/lib/command-not-found ]; then /usr/bin/python /usr/lib/command-not-found -- $1 return $? elif [ -x /usr/share/command-not-found ]; then /usr/bin/python /usr/share/command-not-found -- $1 return $? else return 127 fi } fi The second elif case is broken, the directory _still_ exists because command-not-found-data puts some stuff inside. I don't know why the second check exists as the program itself lives in /usr/lib. ** Package changed: command-not-found (Ubuntu) => bash (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: bash (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- [lucid] command-not-found can't be removed properly using apt https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/561046 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
