Hi,

Bash completion for `apt show <pkg>` seems not working. It worked in
trixie.

	$ apt show ap<TAB> # gives no completion

apt 3.2.0 (Ubuntu 26.04) does not complete for me either.

Thanks!

Best,
Tianyu Chen

Somehow on my laptop /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin is not present. That
caused the problem.
Also, the Ubuntu 26.04 I tried on is a docker container. docker containers
have no caching.

Thus closing this.

Best Regards,
