Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: bash-completion
Disto: Jaunty Testing

Okay I've installed a fresh version of 8.10, which I upgraded to the
9.04 alpha. All seems well but when I am using the terminal I run into
an issue.

When I type in a few letters of an app and hit the TAB button twice, I
get the usual TAB completion

Code:

ric...@richey-desktop:~$ open
open        openoffice  openssl     openvt

All well and good, however, if I place a sudo command before the letters 
"open", tab completion refuses to work.
Code:

ric...@richey-desktop:~$ sudo open

I have ubuntu 8.10 on another partition and that runs fine with tab
completion running normal when sudo is used.
