Package: apt-show-versions
Version: 0.17
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
The bash-completion of apt-show-version only works after dpkg completion has
been attempted.
This is the same problem as #658773 and #658669.
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=658773#25 contains a solution
for this.)
But that solution (using only installed packages) is (IMHO) not the best,
attached is a patch for showing all packages.
(I borrowed the line from the "apt-get install" completion ;-) )
