[Pkg-zsh-devel] Bug#891140: Bug#891140: zsh: Please make "apt install <tab>" completion work on "local" .deb files

[Chris Lamb]

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for your input!

I did try this (honest!) but I couldn't get it to work. :)

Also, note that "apt install" really does need a path-ish, ie:

  $ apt install ./foo.deb

ie. not simply doing

  $ apt install foo.deb

So, a naive _files as you suggest will be broken, unless I'm
missing something  :)


Best wishes,
