In ubuntu, if I type a command for a application that is not installed, but that it knows about from a db, it gives me a message like this:
~ $ kate
The program 'kate' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install kate
Is there a way to get a similar message in Arch Linux?
