Bug#1122387: apt-file: Bash suggests filenames for the first argument

[Samuel Plavec]

This issue disappears when I change the last line of
/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/apt-file from:
> complete -f -F _apt_file apt-file
to:
> complete -F _apt_file apt-file

After this fix, completion works for the usual apt-file actions.
However, it seems that completion hasn't been implemented for several
features of apt-file (such as list-indices or --filter-suites). Maybe
the purpose of the -f flag is to provide fallback completion for them?

Bug#1122387: apt-file: Bash suggests filenames for the first argument

[Samuel Plavec]

Package: apt-file
Version: 3.3
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

According to the manpage, a valid first argument for apt-file is
either an action or an option.
However, when I type "apt-file " (without the quotes) and press tab
twice, bash suggests actions
(find, list, search, show, update), and also files in the current
directory. I believe bash should
not suggest filenames for the first argument.

Best regards,
Samuel Plavec
