Bug description:
[Impact]
Previously apt's bash completion was such that, given
$ mkdir xyzzz
$ touch xyzzy.deb xyzzx.two.deb
you'd get
$ apt install xyzz<tab>
xyzzx.two.deb xyzzz/
$ apt install /tmp/foo/xyzz<tab>
xyzzx.two.deb xyzzz/
this is inconsistent (xyzzx.two.deb is listed but not xyzzy.deb), but
worse than that it offered things that apt would not actually
recognise as candidates for install:
$ sudo apt install xyzzx.two.deb
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package xyzzx.two.deb
E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'xyzzx.two.deb'
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'xyzzx.two.deb'
[Test case]
With this small (trival, really) change, apt's bash completion should
only offer things apt understands, and won't recquire an aditional
period in the filename to offer it:
$ apt install xyzz<tab>^C
$ # (no completions!)
$ apt install ./xyzz<tab>
xyzzx.two.deb xyzzy.deb xyzzz/
$ apt install /tmp/foo/xyzz
xyzzx.two.deb xyzzy.deb xyzzz/
[Regression potential]
Only the expansion of filenames in the completion is affected:
- _filedir "*.deb"
+ if [[ "$cur" == ./* || "$cur" == /* ]]; then
+ _filedir "deb"
+ fi
so it's unlikely to introduce any regression.
[Original bug report]
this fails:
$ touch xyzzy.deb
$ apt install xyzzy<tab>
because the completion support for install is using _filedir wrong.
