Package: apt
Version: 1.0.9.3
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainers,

When bash-completing apt-get, I noticed apt-cache pkgnames miss some package
names
like python3-doc. It does list other package names starting with "python3-doc*"
but
doesn't do for python3-doc, even though it seems like a perfectly regular
package.

$ apt-cache pkgnames python3-doc
python3-docker
python3-docutils
python3-docopt

$ apt-cache --all-names pkgnames python3-doc
python3-docker
python3-docutils
python3-docopt

$ apt-cache showpkg python3-doc
Package: python3-doc
