Public bug reported:
On Ubuntu 19.04 I repeatedly encounter command-not-found crashing
because it is unable to open its database.
Inspection reveals that files in /var/lib/command-not-found are owned by
root and have permissions set so that they are readable only by the
owner.
Deleting these files or changing their permission to be universally
readable fixes the issue.
