# Fix Linux Mint Autocomplete
1. Rename apt to apt-mint in /usr/local/bin/
2. Rename apt-linux-mint to apt-mint in /etc/bash_completion.d/ 
3. Edit /etc/bash_completion.d/apt-mint replacing "apt" with "apt-mint" so it looks like this:

At the top (lines 5 and 6, most likely):
`
have apt-mint &&
_apt-mint()
`
At the end:
`complete -F _apt-mint apt-mint`
