Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package xyzzx.two.deb E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'xyzzx.two.deb' E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'xyzzx.two.deb' [Test case] With this small (trival, really) change, apt's bash completion should only offer things apt understands, and won't recquire an aditional period in the filename to offer it: $ apt install xyzz<tab>^C $ # (no completions!) $ apt install ./xyzz<tab> xyzzx.two.deb xyzzy.deb xyzzz/ $ apt install /tmp/foo/xyzz xyzzx.two.deb xyzzy.deb xyzzz/ [Regression potential] Only the expansion of filenames in the completion is affected: - _filedir "*.deb" + if [[ "$cur" == ./* || "$cur" == /* ]]; then + _filedir "deb" + fi so it's unlikely to introduce any regression. [Original bug report] this fails: $ touch xyzzy.deb $ apt install xyzzy<tab> because the completion support for install is using _filedir wrong.
