Okay, another try:

True.

True, but F18 does not do that, because there is a bug somewhere.
I can reproduce it here, too.

Installing that package is _not_ supposed to fix it as in "a package
is not installed, install it to solve the issue". It is not the 
package's responsibility to fix the (mis)behaviour. It is just a
workaround due to side-effects caused by what PackageKit-c-n-f does
when it intercepts a "command not found" situation (and queries repos).
You may like it that your system does not show the described symptoms
anymore with the package installed, _but_ the actual bug (or undesired
behaviour) is still alive somewhere outside PackageKit-c-n-f.

The reason I asked about PackageKit-c-n-f is not because installing
it should fix the problem. I thought that PackageKit-c-n-f might the
culprit and that uninstalling it would solve the issue. However, this
time it's the opposite. ;)
