   That feature appeared in openSUSE some few years ago, but users   
   complained to have it removed (basically it takes some time to run,   
   checking servers online; if you simply made a typo, it is a waste of   
   time; and there are machines kept without internet intentionally,   
   causing a useless delay).   
      
   So now this is what happens now:   
      
   cer@Telcontar:~> ppp   
   If 'ppp' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the   
   package that contains it, like this:   
        cnf ppp   
   cer@Telcontar:~>   
      
      
   cnf is "command not found", and running the suggested combo finds where   
   the package is and prints the command to install it. Or if it is already   
   installed.
