[Bug 1181495] [NEW] Strange bug in Ubuntu 13.04 (apt and more)

[Nedyalko Dyakov]

Public bug reported:

Hello,
I faced a strange bug with bash-completion when i'm trying to remove a package.
Example:
Before <TAB>
 └─$ which htop
/usr/bin/htop
 └─$ sudo apt-get remove hto
After <TAB>
 └─$ sudo apt-get remove hto^[[m^[[K^[[m^[[Kp

I experienced this in Xubuntu 13.04 and Ubuntu Server 13.04 both 64bit
Both apt-get versions are :
apt 0.9.7.7ubuntu4 for amd64 compiled on Apr 12 2013 23:49:05
I found the same thing occurs with dpkg-reconfigure, dpkg version:
Debian `dpkg' package management program version 1.16.10 (amd64).
If you need more information, please ask i will provide. This is really annoying so i would like to help to be fixed.
