[Eric] Turning off autocomplete for eric 4.1.5

[Detlev Offenbach]

Hi,

there is a bug that prevents the disabling of autocompletions. Please get the 
latest version (4.2.5), which contains a fix. Please note, that you should 
uninstall the 4.1.5 package of Ubuntu first, than install 4.2.5 with it's 
install script.

Regards,
Detlev
