If it is not checking then for backward compatibility it would require a name change so that other packages don't get broken. > However, those changes you're asking were uploaded on Fri, 03 Apr 2009 > 14:21:43 > +0200, with version 1:1.0-1 in Debian. > The bug is http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=512917 . > > The fact is: Ubuntu hasn't synced bash-completion for a while (we also > changed > version numbering scheme in the meanwhile!) > Well, I might just check the new version and update the Ubuntu package. Anyway, thanks for your help. /Federico
