[Bug 1620459] Re: package bash-completion 1:2.1-4ubuntu0.2 failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/apt', which is also in package apt 1.0.1ubuntu2.14

[Julian Andres Klode]

Trusty is EOL. The system in question seems to be in an unsupported
state. The apt version is old, and the upgrade seems to have been
attempted with apt instead of do-release-upgrade (as do-release-upgrade
would tell you to upgrade first).

apt in trusty does not contain the bash completion, and apt in xenial
has appropriate Replaces on the bash-completion that is causing the
conflict here.

** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Invalid

** Changed in: bash-completion (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Incomplete
