[Bug 1181495] Re: Strange bug in Ubuntu 13.04 (apt and more) [bash-completion]

[Norbert]

I tested it more accurate on Ubuntu 14.04.
1. If I'm on VT1 (Ctrl+Alt+F1) bash-completion works as expected - it normally complete:
* apt-get <Space>, <Tab> with 
          autoclean' check ... (and all other variants)
* apt-cache <Space>, <Tab> with 
         add dump ... (and all other variants)
* aptitude <Space>, <Tab> with 
         add-user-tag forbid-version ...  (and all other variants)
* dpkg <Space>, <Tab> with
        --abort-after --no-debsig ...  (and all other variants)
* dpkg-reconfigure xorg <Space>, <Tab> with
        xorg xorg-docs-core

2. If I'm on gnome-terminal or xterm in graphic session (for example,
Unity1) all these options do not work.

Bash-completion functionality is a very often used functionality, so
please fix this bug.

Title:
  Strange bug in Ubuntu 13.04 (apt and more) [bash-completion]

Status in “bash-completion” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hello,
  I faced a strange bug with bash-completion when i'm trying to remove a package.
  Example:
  Before <TAB>
   └─$ which htop
  /usr/bin/htop
   └─$ sudo apt-get remove hto
  After <TAB>
   └─$ sudo apt-get remove hto^[[m^[[K^[[m^[[Kp

  I experienced this in Xubuntu 13.04 and Ubuntu Server 13.04 both 64bit
  Both apt-get versions are :
  apt 0.9.7.7ubuntu4 for amd64 compiled on Apr 12 2013 23:49:05
  I found the same thing occurs with dpkg-reconfigure, dpkg version:
  Debian `dpkg' package management program version 1.16.10 (amd64).
  If you need more information, please ask i will provide. This is really annoying so i would like to help to be fixed.

  My bash-completion version is : 1:2.0-1ubuntu3
  As I see there is no other version for 13.04, and for the moment this version is 
  in the 13.10 repos.
