Package: command-not-found
Version: 18.04.5-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

The latest version of the command-not-found/zsh combination is failing silently
whenever the command-not-found-handler does not match. To reproduce:

$ zsh --no-rcs
localhost% source /etc/zsh_command_not_found
localhost% some-command-that-does-not-exist
localhost%

Observe that no error message is printed. I would expect the line 'command not
found: some-command-that-does-not-exist' to be printed.

The zsh documentation agrees with me. From
http://zsh.sourceforge.net/Doc/Release/Command-Execution.html:

> If the function wishes to mimic the behaviour of the shell when the command
is
> not found, it should print the message ‘command not found: cmd’ to standard
error
> and return status 127.

Looking at the `command-not-found-handler` definition, it is not printing any
message, not is it allowing `/usr/lib/command-not-found` to print its own
message.
