[Bash-completion-devel] Bug#642526: bash-completion: please include completion for dpkg-query

[Luca Capello]

Package: bash-completion
Version: 1:1.3-1
Severity: normal
File: /etc/bash_completion.d/dpkg
Tags: patch

Hi there!

Cc:ing the debian-dpkg@ mailing list for comments/suggestions.

As far as I understand it, dpkg-query is supposed to be the canonical
way to query the DPKG database:

  <http://lists.debian.org/20110302140611.GH20023%40rivendell.home.ouaza.com>

However, bash-completion does not support dpkg-query, the patch is easy
(but I have not checked if all dpkg commands are reflected by
dpkg-query):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

 }
-complete -F _dpkg dpkg dpkg-deb
+complete -F _dpkg dpkg dpkg-deb dpkg-query
 }

 # Debian GNU dpkg-reconfigure(8) completion

Thx, bye,
