Hi, it seems that if any options are passed to a misspelled bash command, it somehow turns on printing PackageKit debug messages. Following two examples explain everything: $ misspeled-command arg1 arg2 arg3 bash: misspeled-command: command not found... $ misspeled-command -option arg1 arg2 arg3 bash: misspeled-command: command not found...
