Package: bash-completion Version: 1:1.99-3
BEHAVIOUR Enabling 'set -e' in the bash shell (either explicitly or via a script sourced into the shell) causes bash-completion to terminate the interactive shell in an unexpected fashion. This is probably because the auto-completion functions throw an error that is not handled and the 'set -e' which is inherited from the shell by those functions causes the shell's process to exit immediately - as opposed to the functions exiting immediately i.e. a failure in the auto-completion functions (wrongly) affects parent shell. REPRODUCTION Enable `set -e` and then attempt to tab complete for some arbitrary command that has no tab-complete functionality e.g. SIMILAR BUGS Bug #666933 (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=666933) is a similar bug. $ dpkg -l | grep -i bash ii bash 4.2-1 GNU Bourne Again SHell ii bash-builtins 4.2-1 Bash loadable builtins - headers & examples ii bash-completion 1:1.99-3 programmable completion for the bash shell ii bash-doc 4.2-1 Documentation and examples for the The GNU Bourne Again SHell $ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.
