Binary package hint: zsh

steps to reproduce:
1: apt-get install <pkg> (lynx, for example)
2: try to complete on ly<TAB>
3: zsh won't complete on the newly installed package (like bash does)

This is fairly standard for zsh. It speeds up it's tab completion by storing potential commands. if after installing a package (or uninstalling) you type "rehash" it will rebuild it's tab completion to display the new commands (or remove the old ones depending on what you did).
