when trying to access the autocompletion in ubuntu 19.10 it always throw an error:

awk: line 18: function gensub never defined

I think there are some system libs have wrong version or linked to wrong version of dependencies.

Any idea how to fix this or work around it?

As you can read here: bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bash-completion/+bug/1845529

sudo apt install gawk can avoid this problem

In the last answer of this report a guy pointed out to the debian bug, also already reported: bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=933934
