Package: elpa-debian-el Version: 37.19.3 Severity: normal Tags: patch Hi,
When using apt-utils-show-package, the initial completion suggestion is taken from word-at-point. However, if that word has read-only property set, then the prompt completion itself is not modifiable and can only be appended to. It would be better to ignore the properties of the word-at-point so that the full prompt suggestion can be modified. Fortunately word-at-point has an optional argument to implement this. Suggested patch attached.
