Public bug reported:

The command-not-found package has been modified to get command
information (Commands-* files) from the Ubuntu archive subsequently the
command-not-found-data package, which requires regular manually
updating, should be removed. As a reference here is a previous changelog
entry regarding dropping the package.

command-not-found (18.04.0~pre1) bionic; urgency=medium

  * New version:
    - switch from gdbm to sqlite (smaller files and faster searches)
    - will fetch "dists/bionic/*/binary-*/cnf/Commands-* files
      once the archive provides them
    - CLI output follows what is outlined in LP: #1749777
    - command-not-found-data switched to consume Commands-* files
      (package can be dropped/emptied once server side Commands-* files
       are available)
    - support for suggestions based on snap packages
    - add autopkgtest to the package

That being said it would be good if the commands.db (/usr/share/command-
not-found/commands.db) was built during the image building process so
that command-not-found will work immediately after installation.

Additionally, if commands.db does not exist command-not-found should
produce an error message along the lines of "No command-not-found
database generated yet, please run "sudo apt update"".
