Apt's bash completion is incomplete

The attachment "fix_apt_build-dep_clean.diff" seems to be a patch. If it isn't, please remove the "patch" flag from the attachment, remove the "patch" tag, and if you are a member of the ~ubuntu-reviewers, unsubscribe the team.

/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/apt is provided by bash-completion in Trusty. Has this changed in Xenial? It doesn't look like bash-completion has changed at all, so is there a conflict where the two packages are trying to provide the same file?

Mathew Hodson (mathew-hodson), files in both packages don't have build-dep and clean completion, so this inconsistency is probably another bug.

$ dpkg -S /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/apt
apt: /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/apt

Apparently so.

I pinged Julian, I suppose we want to apply this straight in Debian's git, to avoid getting out of sync again (and this equally applies to Debian).

Thanks for the patch, it was slightly incomplete though -- build-dep did not complete to source packages and a lot of other stuff was still missing.

I worked further on the whole thing, and as of
  https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/apt/apt.git/commit/?id=5aba189
it seems to be reasonably complete, except that build-dep does not yet complete to directory names containing a debian/control file.

Julian did a much more complete completion (SCNR) in https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/apt/apt.git/commit/?id=5aba189 .

Thus unsubscribing sponsors.

This is now in 1.2.13 which is the next upstream micro release to be uploaded to xenial.

And in 1.3~exp2 which will hit yakkety soon.

See bug 1592171 for the yakkety sync request.

We should skip 1.2.12 due to a regression in the proxy auto detection command. 1.2.13 should follow shortly.

Sorry, we skip 1.2.13, and wait for 1.2.14. Coming soon!

Moving the rest of the SRU to bug 1595177

This bug was fixed in the package apt - 1.3~pre2ubuntu4

---------------
apt (1.3~pre2ubuntu4) yakkety; urgency=medium

  * Cherry-pick the following commits from rebased branch:
    - gpgv: Unlink the correct temp file in error case
    - Allow to specify - as APT_CONFIG for stdin
    - gpgv: Pass current config to apt-key on a file-based stdin
   [This partially reverts ubuntu3]
