[Bug 1358154] Re: Bash autocompletion not working for apt command

[Chris J Arges]

Hello Bogdan, or anyone else affected,

Accepted bash-completion into trusty-proposed. The package will build
now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bash-
completion/1:2.1-4ubuntu0.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed
repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

** Changed in: bash-completion (Ubuntu Trusty)
       Status: In Progress => Fix Committed

Title:
  Bash autocompletion not working for apt command

Status in bash-completion package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in bash-completion source package in Trusty:
  Fix Committed
Status in bash-completion package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  Bash completion is not working for the apt tool.

  With the apt-get utility, you could do apt-g<tab> upg<tab> and hit
  enter and be done. With the new apt tool, you can no longer do this
  and instead have to type in apt list/update/upgrade/full-upgrade.

  [Test Case]

  * Type "apt upd".

  * Press Tab key.

  * Command should complete to "apt update".

  * Repeat with the first three letters of other frequently used
  commands such as install/remove/purge/upgrade/full-upgrade/edit-
  sources.

  * For the install command, the package name should be completed based
  on packages available in the repositories.

  * For the remove/purge command, the package name should be completed
  based on packages installed on the system.

  [Regression Potential]

  There shouldn't be any regression since bash-completion didn't
  previously support apt at all.
