command-not-found crashes
Open, NormalPublic

Description

Calling a function I wrote nim without ./, or calling any unknown command or commands for which I do not have the permissions to execute for that matter and I get the issue below. I ran 'sudo update-command-not-found' which runs fine with no response, but I repeatedly get the same error.

I'm pretty new to this, so there may be an easy fix, but I don't know what it is.

I think this is the same problem that has been mentioned before and was never fixed. You might wish to start here for more discussion.

Personally, I gave up and uninstalled it. As far as I know, I have not missed it.

@davidpluseipi Yep, this is the same problem. I don't think the package is maintained at the moment, so it's easier to uninstall it.
