I’m trying to install a setup script for GCP for school, planning on uninstalling it afterwards I am getting a command not found error… right now I am running sudo apt-upgrade but I will post the full error message after.
Could not find the database of available applications, run update-command-not-found as root to fix this
Sorry, command-not-found has crashed! Please file a bug report at: http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting
Please include the following information with the report:
local variable ‘cnf’ referenced before assignment
Traceback (most recent call last):

if not cnf.advise(args[0], options.ignore_installed) and not options.no_failure_msg:
UnboundLocalError: local variable ‘cnf’ referenced before assignment
Some others have reported this as well. I think the consensus is to just remove the command-not-found package. I believe sudo apt remove command-not-found will do it.
Yep, as @wctaylor mentions, several have reported this. There are a couple of threads in this forum, but you may want to add yourself to this tracking item if you can.
I am one who removed the package; I have not seen ill effects (yet).
All variable assignments in a function store the value in the local symbol table; whereas variable references first look in the local symbol table, then in the global symbol table, and then in the table of built-in names. Thus, global variables cannot be directly assigned a value within a function (unless named in a global statement), although they may be referenced.
The unboundlocalerror: local variable referenced before assignment is raised when you try to use a variable before it has been assigned in the local context. Python doesn’t have variable declarations , so it has to figure out the scope of variables itself. It does so by a simple rule: If there is an assignment to a variable inside a function, that variable is considered local .
