[Bug 949141] Re: apt-get doesn't have autocompletion

[David Kalnischkies]

Do you have 'bash-completion' installed and activated?

Also important: Does  /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin exists?
If not (or just to be sure) try running 'apt-cache gencaches'.

Title:
  apt-get doesn't have autocompletion

Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
    apt-get doesn't have autocompletion for the command "install" (and
  others) in Kubuntu 11.10.

    It does have it in Kubuntu 10.04, so this is a regression.
