Title:
  apt-get remove/purge autocomplete bug

Status in “bash-completion” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  When the env var GREP_OPTIONS is set to "--color=always," apt-get
  purge and remove insert erroneous characters when using autocomplete

  tab, this expansion occurs:

  sudo apt-get purge compizconf^[[m^[[K^[[m^[[Kig-settings-manager
