What is this convoluted new command not found behavior - why doesn't bash just say command not found like it always did before?
It's supposed to be more userfriendly, the user can 'ask' another tool to look for the command he typed (which currently just looks into some general $path table afaik). Ubuntu started this and people liked it, but looking into some big *** table for every false typed command just wasn't what people expected, as in 'yeah I know there is no yasr' takes too long. So openSUSE decided to make it optional, you can call the 'lookup xyz' for me with cnf. If you ask me, I'd hate bash to go through some big table everytime just because I was unable to hit the right keys.
What is sax2-tools for?
As of 11.3 outdated, it used to be the kick ass xorg/xf86 (yeah way back!) tools to set up xorg.conf, or whatever we used to call it! Even in times where it used to disregard any user modification and just replaced it with it's kept backup ;-)
FWIW, 'X -configure' produces segfault on i845G, and an xorg.conf.new file that as of yet cannot be adapted to produce desired screen resolution or DPI (stuck @ 1024x768 on 2048x1536 screen).
If that is still the case check for existing bug reports or file a new one, X -congfigure is the XOrg self setup, there currently is nothing else supported for 11.3, sax2 is 'community supported' right now, which boils down to good luck using it =/
Another question going with command not found is why it is asking to install the necessary package manually instead of installing the needed packages.
Is this too long or complicated ?
(the user just asked for a command which dependencies are not fullfilled).
That's about user capabilities and the tools they call(in posix terms it boils down to root or not), I can call kopete myself as a user, why would I do that inside of a cli? I don't know! Alas I could, but still I'd need root rights to install it, or at least the policykit authorization. That's just over the scope of such a simple 'tell me where I am wrong' tool. It's part of the keep it simple principle, making cnf suid is just wrong and policykit, ugh! I expect someone to get that kind of result to solve it himself when beeing told to install xyz on the cli. Cheers!
