Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: command-not-found


I know this is low on the prioirty list and indicative of my bad typing
skillz but all the same I thought I should report it. This is not a
graceful way of handling an error condition. I need to manually control
my /etc/apt/apt.conf file with a Proxy setting because of th e nature of
my companies Internet access control. If I have the proxy setting
commented out and I type in an unknown command, "command-not-found"
seems to have a problem parsing the apt.conf file and barfs. Output is
below.

ifocnfig -a

KABOOOM!!!
