How I encountered this command-not-found problem:

I am running Ubuntu 12.04 beta 2 updated through this afternoon. I have reported bugs #929054 and #980134 regarding keyboard behavior (under gnome-terminal and the Xubuntu equivalent) when the Maori layout is included in the keyboard switcher list. Trying to type a combination with AltGr (right Alt) with any keyboard with AltGr combos results in the � character being displayed. For example, I also have the Spanish (ES) layout in the list. This error will then occur if I select Maori or ES, and try to enter a character which requires the AltGr key to be depressed.

If such an error output occurs, when I type the Enter key, command-not-found will crash.

This (the display of the � character) happens under Xubuntu 12.04 as well as Ubuntu 12.04. It did not happen with some earlier versions of Ubuntu. It does not happen with Version 6 of Debian, using gnome-terminal.

This bug *may* have been fixed upstream, but it isn't in the current Ubuntu updates.
