Completion for 'apt' package

Asked by Marian 'Marosh' Felder

As I am very fond of the 'apt' package, I realized that there is unfortunately no bash-completion file in the current 14.04.2 LTS. Is there file for that or do I have to write that myself? Or do I have to find somewhere else?

I found a solution in the web which asked suggested 'auto-complete-el' for the asked autocompletion, which seems
1 far off, as it does not contain the file
2 is quite huge with 186 MB in hdd space.

Nowadays most people use the "apt-get" and "apt-cache" commands instead of "apt", and there is bash-completion for those.

Can you help with this problem?
