} No... It didn't really work; the completion list was very, very
} incomplete. "sudo aptitude install a<Tab>" now brings up a list of
} packages current *installed* instead *available*...

Sorry about the cut'n'paste error with the close paren.

As for the other part, try fgrep -xvf.

If that still doesn't work, examine each of:

print -l $_deb_packages_cache_avail
print -l $_deb_packages_cache_installed
print -l $_dep_packages_cache_uninstalled

Do they appear to contain the lists you expect?
