Title:
  Installation of the acroread package causes completion to treat
  directories like files with some commands

Status in “acroread” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “bash-completion” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix
Status in “bash-completion” package in Debian:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: bash-completion

  Scenario: go to home directory in terminal, then type "ls Deskto" (without quotes) and press Tab. Result: command line completes to "ls Desktop " (with space after "Desktop"). The problem here is that you may want to continue typing to get to a subdirectory. If I recall correctly, in earlier releases the completion would be "ls Desktop/", where you could press Enter or continue typing.
  This problem exists with at least 'ls' and 'rm'. It seems more is broken because if in above steps you replace 'ls' with 'tar' then you don't get any completion at all, even though Desktop is a folder and hence can contain some archive file. It looks like completion tries to get a "fully-complete" completion and ignores the possibility of intermediate folders.
