UPDATE-COMMAND-NOT-FOUND(8)

📦 version 23.04.0, in debian bookworm, debian trixie

✨ update-command-not-found ✨

okay bestie, welcome to update-command-not-found — section 8 of the manual, aka the "command not found helper" corner of the universe 💅 this one's short and sweet, no cap.

🎀 NAME 🎀

update-command-not-found — literally just: update the command-not-found cache. that's the whole vibe. slay.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

update-command-not-found [-h|--help|-n|--no-apt-file]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the tea ☕ update-command-not-found refreshes the cache (aka the databases, plural, we love a plural) for command-not-found, and it builds them out of the files sitting in /var/cache/apt/apt-file — which are fetched by apt-file. that's it. that's the whole job. iconic behaviour honestly.

💖 OPTIONS 💖

  • -h or --help — prints the help message. when in doubt, ask for help, we've all been there 🫶
  • -n or --no-apt-file — do not run apt-file update before updating the cache. like, skip the pre-game, go straight to the main event ✨
