As others have said - this isn't a Kali Linux support channel. We're all 
volunteers here: Kali is Debian-derived but isn't Debian - this is best
endeavours support only.

You will get more support from https://www.kali.org/community/
the Kali Linux forums at https://forums.kali.org/ and you should search
the Kali Linux bugs at https://bugs.kali.org/my_view_page.php

You may wisth to point out to the folks at Kali that the report you've got 
also needs localising so that the error/bug report is not sent to Debian but 
to Kali.

It looks as if someone has had almost exactly the same error after updating
recently - it looks as if command-not-found was new to Kali Linux 2021.1 -
https://www.kali.org/blog/kali-linux-2021-1-release/ and someone on Reddit is
reporting https://www.reddit.com/r/Kalilinux/comments/l7srb7/could_not_find_commandnotfound_database_error/

One suggetion would be to run 

apt-file update 

as root/root equivalent using sudo which it appears has worked for some people, 

Another would be to run as root/root equivalent using sudo: 

update command-not-found 

to update the cache that command-not-found uses internally of packages that
it can find.

Alternatively, as root/sudo equivalent, you could try a reinstall of the 
package with 

apt install --reinstall command-not-found

which should fix any missing parts and will reinitialise databases on install

Hope this helps,

All best, as ever,

[With luck, the subject change here will indicate a better answer so users
of Google or whatever will get a reliable answer and not worry on this one
here again]
