[Bug 1645815] Re: apt install of local debs does not tab-complete

[Julian Andres Klode]

Actually:

jak at jak-x230:~/Downloads$ ls *.deb
AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i386linux_enu.deb  debhelper_9.20160115ubuntu3_all.deb
jak at jak-x230:~/Downloads$ _filedir "deb"
jak at jak-x230:~/Downloads$ echo $_
deb
jak at jak-x230:~/Downloads$ _filedir "*.deb"
jak at jak-x230:~/Downloads$ echo $_
AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i386linux_enu.deb debhelper_9.20160115ubuntu3_all.deb


So, it seems you are wrong.

Title:
  apt install of local debs does not tab-complete

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  this fails:

  $ touch xyzzy.deb
  $ apt install xyzzy<tab>

  because the completion support for install is using _filedir wrong.
