Description Ravi 2022-02-01 14:25:37 UTC

Description of problem:
I tried to open "xterm", but as the package was not installed, so I got an error, and an offer to install it by pressing "y", but when I press "y", I get an error command not found.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
[root@localhost ~]# bash: xterm: command not found...

[root@localhost ~]# Install package 'xterm' to provide command 'xterm'? [N/y] y
bash: y: command not found...

[1]+  Stopped                 xterm

[1]+  Stopped                 xterm



Actual results:
bash: y: command not found...


Expected results:
"xterm" package should be installed.

It's not a bug in bash and this message is coming from PackageKit.
