bash completion of apt-get

[PsyK]

The apt completion feature can be enabled by editing the file
/etc/bash.bashrc and uncommenting the lines:
# enable bash completion in interactive shells
#if [ -f /etc/bash_completion ]; then
#    . /etc/bash_completion
#fi

at the bottom of the file.

Hope this helps :)
