I just used "diff" instead of "sdiff" and it worked (as it did previously now in the x86 chroot). For completeness, the following simple steps reproduce it: Setup up a etch chroot, e.g. by cdebootstrap --arch=i386 etch /var/chroot/sid http://... Copy the necessary files inside (fstab, passwd, resolve.conf, ...) Mount the necessary directories (using --bind), typically proc Edit sources.list to point to sid chroot in your new chroot apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade apt-get dist-upgrade (yes, twice). In the second run, bash_completion will be installed/upgraded, and the dialogue appears. If I hear nothing form you, I'll clone this bug for the prompt. As shown above, the config file was never changed by me, so no prompt for an upgrade should be necessary (and looking at the huge diff, I bet many system administrators will be rather lost as well).
