No, it's looking for a command "". The ":" is _after_ the command name.
Normally the error would look like:

        bash: foo: command not found

Typical causes for this are variables nnot set, yet being used.

For example, a script saying:

        "$cmdvar" blah blah blah

where $cmdvar is expected to hold the name of a command, but hasn't been
initialised. There are a few other possibilities too.

If you have an example script which will produce this error message
then the best was to diagnose it is to go:

        bash -vx the_script

The -v recites script lines as they are read, and the -x recites commands
as they are issued. You should thus see the shell line which causes the
error, the bogus command issued, and the error in theat order, yileding
a clue to the cause.
