[SOLVED] Ubuntu 20.04: after installing ripgrep I get "Command 'ripgrep' not found, did you mean: ..."

I'm on Ubuntu 20.04 and installed ripgrep with sudo apt install ripgrep after running sudo apt update without errors.

Code:

 ~ $ apt policy ripgrep
ripgrep:
  Installed: 11.0.2-1build1
  Candidate: 11.0.2-1build1
  Version table:
 *** 11.0.2-1build1 500
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/universe amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
  ~ $

But
ripgrep --version and ripgrep --help give me

Code:

Command 'ripgrep' not found, did you mean:

  command 'zipgrep' from deb unzip (6.0-25ubuntu1)
  command 'sipgrep' from deb sipgrep (2.1.0-2build1)

Try: sudo apt install <deb name>

And

Code:

  ~ $ man ripgrep
No manual entry for ripgrep
  ~ $ info ripgrep
info: No menu item 'ripgrep' in node '(dir)Top'
  ~ $

Any idea about what's wrong? (I tried searching LQ for "ripgrep" but got a database error.)

The command is rg!
