Package: bash-completion Followup-For: Bug #1070074 I doubt this issue is related to util-linux-extra being too old.
I had a similar error while pressing "sudo<tab>" I got the error: "sudo bash: _comp_initialize : commande introuvable" ie "commande introuvable" is "command not found". It turned out that this error only happens in bash shell I had opened before the upgrade (the fact you had the issue opening new bash shell is awakward to me). The bash shell I opened after were fine. Note the _comp_deprecate_var, _comp_xxx functions are defined in /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion which is part of the bash-completion package, so upgrading util-linux-extra can have no effect on them being present or not. From the error I got above I guess bash completion /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/* might get source anew after upgrade while the /usr/share/bash-completion/bash-completion common function definition file is not. A way to workaround this issue would be to source this file in existing bash shells: "source /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion" indeed fixed my shell with broken "sudo<tab>" and missing _comp_initialize command. I see no easy fix as as far as I know, the /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion is imported when the bash shell is started (profile file or bashrc) but it seems the completion files can be source during the shell runtime. Maybe the a check at each completion files function call could be added to check if /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion has changed and source it when so. But this looks more like an upstream issue than a Debian specific topic. NB: I still do not understand why you got the "command not found" when opening a new bash shell. The new /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion is source from the latest version at this point. Maybe your $HOME/.bashrc is not up to date: /etc/skel/.bashrc: (should be in your $HOME/.bashrc) # If not running interactively, don't do anything case $- in *i*) ;; *) return;; esac (...) # enable programmable completion features (you don't need to enable # this, if it's already enabled in /etc/bash.bashrc and /etc/profile # sources /etc/bash.bashrc). if ! shopt -oq posix; then if [ -f /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion ]; then . /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion elif [ -f /etc/bash_completion ]; then . /etc/bash_completion fi fi /etc/bash.bashrc: # enable bash completion in interactive shells #if ! shopt -oq posix; then # if [ -f /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion ]; then # . /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion # elif [ -f /etc/bash_completion ]; then # . /etc/bash_completion # fi #fi or it is not imported from your $HOME/.profile which should have: # if running bash if [ -n "$BASH_VERSION" ]; then # include .bashrc if it exists if [ -f "$HOME/.bashrc" ]; then . "$HOME/.bashrc" fi fi but even then /etc/profile should have source the common bash completion functions: /etc/profile: /etc/profile.d/bash_completion.sh # shellcheck shell=sh disable=SC1091,SC2166,SC2268,SC3028,SC3044,SC3054 # Check for interactive bash and that we haven't already been sourced. if [ "x${BASH_VERSION-}" != x -a "x${PS1-}" != x -a "x${BASH_COMPLETION_VERSINFO-}" = x ]; then # Check for recent enough version of bash. if [ "${BASH_VERSINFO[0]}" -gt 4 ] || [ "${BASH_VERSINFO[0]}" -eq 4 -a "${BASH_VERSINFO[1]}" -ge 2 ]; then [ -r "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/bash_completion" ] && .
