Here are the permissions of the database file at the time:
$ ls -l /var/lib/command-not-found
total 2776
-rw-r----- 1 root root 2834432 Dec 18 05:25 commands.db
-rw-r----- 1 root root 4712 Dec 18 05:25 commands.db.metadata
$
I ran update-command-not-found and no change. I then removed the files
and ran update-command-not-found again. The files were recreated with
the same permissions.
As a workaround, I gave read permissions to all users for both files and
it seems to work fine now.
$ sudo chmod o+r /var/lib/command-not-found/commands.db*
