[Bug 1530096] [NEW] Missing command "search" for apt in bash-completion

[Daresch]

Public bug reported:

1) Ubuntu release

$ lsb_release -rd
Description:	Ubuntu 15.10
Release:	15.10


2) Package version

$ apt-cache policy bash-completion 
bash-completion:
  Installiert:           1:2.1-4.1ubuntu2
  Installationskandidat: 1:2.1-4.1ubuntu2
  Versionstabelle:
 *** 1:2.1-4.1ubuntu2 0
        500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ wily/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status


3) Expected

I've expected, if I type

$ apt se<TAP>

that I would get

$ apt search

Or if I type

$ apt s<TAP><TAP>

that I would get

$ apt
search show


4) What happend instead

I get only

$ apt show

But apt has also the command "search".


(5) Suggested Solution

So I looked into the apt file for bash-completion. In line 10 to 12,
there is no command for searching.

Add "search" somewhere in the command list in line 10 to 12.

I've added it behind the command "show".
local COMMANDS=("install" "remove" "purge" "show" "search" "list"
                "update" "upgrade" "full-upgrade" "dist-upgrade"
                "edit-sources" "help")

File: /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/apt
