doesn't cope with db format transition

[Colin Watson]

Binary package hint: command-not-found

Python recently moved to db4.6. After this, any unknown command produces:

Unable to open binary database %s: %s /usr/share/command-not-found/programs.d/all-multiverse.db (22, 'Invalid argument')
Unable to open binary database %s: %s /usr/share/command-not-found/programs.d/all-main.db (22, 'Invalid argument')

Unable to open binary database %s: %s /usr/share/command-not-found/programs.d/powerpc-main.db (22, 'Invalid argument')

Unable to open binary database %s: %s /usr/share/command-not-found/programs.d/powerpc-universe.db (22, 'Invalid argument')

(ignoring the buggy error message, already filed as bug 131435)

Something needs to cope with upgrading the db format, preferably on the fly; I believe that Berkeley DB has an 'upgrade' method for this.

[Jussi Kukkonen (jku)]

Confirming. I'm seeing this too on a fresh gutsy install.

[Áron Sisak (asisak)]

Confirmed again, I think this should be fixed for the beta.

[Hasse Bylov (hassebylov)]

Yep, me too. It also appears when I type in an unknown command ("command not found") in a prompt...

[HASSAN SAID OMAR (sayyidhassan)]

i have tred to restart the system several times,but the same eroors keep coming,and am not able either to start the X system nor send any commands

[Zygmunt Krynicki (zyga)]

Hassan: could you please be more specific? Please include: what command triggers the error? Why can't you start X?

[HASSAN SAID OMAR (sayyidhassan)]

the error comes automatically during startup,first there is a message about doing a disk check,after the disk check(which does not complete to 100%),the errors surfaces.this takes me to root@home,where upon inputting start X command,the same error

Unable to open binary database %s: %s /usr/share/command-not-found/programs.d

I'm able to replicate this message as well. Here's my system info and error message:

Distro: Kubuntu Gutsy 7.10 (latest updates applied)

[Heitzso (heitzso)]

I confirm on my gutsy system (current as of yesterday, Sept 12th).
Open up gnome-terminal and at the command prompt enter a non-existant command such as:
       lss
which yields
      Unable to open binary database /usr/share/command-not-found/programs.d/all-main.db: (22, 'Invalid argument')
      ... etc. ...

[Evan Carroll (evancarroll)]

confirmed sept. 13, deleted-binary database and reinstalled c-n-f-data, still no joy.

[Sébastien Valette (sebastien-valette)]

confirmed also here...

[Rafael Sachetto (rsachetto)]

fixed here in the version 0.28

[HASSAN SAID OMAR (sayyidhassan)]

How to fix the problem so as to access my documents?

Last updates to command-not-found and command-not-found-data indeed fix this. Changing status accordingly.

Hassan, you're probably seeing another bug and should file another report.

[HASSAN SAID OMAR (sayyidhassan)]

at last i got the solution to my problem at this forum:

http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1149184
