fail to update the cache

[Amine Brikci-N]

On aptosid, update-command-not-found (run as root) gives the following error:

I: Writing data for oscar.aptosid.com_debian_dists_sid_Contents-i386.gz ...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/update-command-not-found", line 95, in <module>
    write_db_apt_file()
  File "/usr/sbin/update-command-not-found", line 72, in write_db_apt_file
    write_db_core(fobj)
  File "/usr/sbin/update-command-not-found", line 51, in write_db_core
    section, package = package.strip().rsplit('/', 1)
ValueError: need more than 1 value to unpack

So the cache won't be updated and typing an unknowed command in bash gives the following error:

Could not find the database of available applications, run update-command-not-found as root to fix this

Hi, thansk for this report.

What is update-command-not-found?
What is aptosid?

Hi,

update-command-not-found build's the database used by command-not-found.
aptosid is a debian-sid-based linux, almost pure debian sid with only some packages mainly for painless rolling release usage of newest debian packages directly from the debian repositories.
command-not-found in the debian repos comes from ubuntus package.

The attached patch works for me (aptosid with recent command-not-found, version 0.2.38-1, also recent in debian wheezy)

cheers
derBert

Thanks.

I'll apply that patch next week, I'm packing and moving now :-)

Best regards
ZK
