Package: bash
Version: 3.2-4
Severity: minor
Hi,
this bug is rather known (seen it on the ubuntu bts), see this
demonstration:
mschm...@kalyke:/tmp/Test_Verzeichnis2$ sudo mount -o loop test
test datei.iso test_datei.iso
mschm...@kalyke:/tmp/Test_Verzeichnis2$ sudo mount -o loop test\ dgrep:
Trailing backslash
grep: Trailing backslash
mschm...@kalyke:/tmp/Test_Verzeichnis2$ mount test\ datei.iso
mschm...@kalyke:/tmp/Test_Verzeichnis2$
I tried to let bash autocomplete after I typed test\ d...
So as it seems, it will not work correctly when the file to complete
contains a whitespace AND if I use sudo.
There is a note in /etc/bash_completion about sudo:
# A meta-command completion function for commands like sudo(8), which
need to
# first complete on a command, then complete according to that command's
own
# completion definition - currently not quite foolproof (e.g. mount and
umount
# don't work properly), but still quite useful.
yeah, not so foolproof ;) it would be nice if someone would have an idea
how to improve the really nice completion feature there.
greetings
Michael

Hi,
I just tested the same thing as in 2008, no idea when or what did fix it
but now bash-completion works as expected, hence I close the bug.
regards
Michael
