same problem in linux mint 20

[GitCaptain]

I've got the same problem too

[RuslanLinuxoid]

me too :(

Unfortunately, this is a problem with the command-not-found package in Ubuntu. Please, keep posted on the bugs that cause this issue on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/command-not-found — such as https://bugs.launchpad.net/command-not-found/+bug/1824000 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/command-not-found/+bug/1872557.

In the meantime, the issue can be solved with the python3-commandnotfound package being removed (apt remove python3-commandnotfound).

A change is on its way that will prevent the module of an excluded rule from being loaded. Stay tuned.
