Package: bash-completion Version: 1:2.1-4 Severity: normal scp completion is broken on files with special characters such as *, as bash forgets to quote them.
To reproduce, on the remote side, create two files: abc*defghi abc*dzzzdefghi Then type: scp host:ab[TAB] One gets: scp host:abc*d But if one types 'e' and [TAB], the completion doesn't work. Note: zsh doesn't have this problem. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages bash-completion depends on: ii bash 4.3-12 ii dpkg 1.17.23 bash-completion recommends no packages. bash-completion suggests no packages. -- no debconf information _______________________________________________ Bash-completion-devel mailing list Bash-completion-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/bash-completion-devel
