Bug#1135903: bash-completion: bash tab completion on fontimage opens fontforge window

[Florian Lohoff]

Package: bash-completion
Version: 1:2.16.0-7
Severity: normal

Hi,
i first experienced this by accident in an Windows WSL Debian Container
but could reproduce it on my main working machine


fontimage <tab><tab>

opens a fontforge window. Thats pretty unexpected. I have no clue
about bash completetion but my first impression is that this
is a bash complete issue as it tries to find the interpreter
of the shell script /usr/bin/fontimage and then runs it.


set -x

+ local _BASH_REMATCH=
+ local executable=
+ req_argv=()
+ local req_argv
+ [[ -z '' ]]
+ executable=fontimage
+ req_argv=("" "${COMP_WORDS[@]:1}")
+ __python_argcomplete_expand_tilde_by_ref executable
+ '[' -n '' ']'
+ '[' f = '~' ']'
+ local ARGCOMPLETE=0
+ [[ fontimage == python* ]]
+ [[ fontimage == pypy* ]]
+ __python_argcomplete_which fontimage
++ __python_argcomplete_which fontimage
++ [[ -n '' ]]
++ type -P fontimage
+ local SCRIPT_NAME=/usr/bin/fontimage
+ __python_argcomplete_scan_head_noerr /usr/bin/fontimage interpreter
+ __python_argcomplete_scan_head /usr/bin/fontimage interpreter
+ __python_argcomplete_scan_head_noerr /usr/bin/fontimage magic_string

+ __python_argcomplete_upshift_bash_rematch

+ _BASH_REMATCH=("" "${BASH_REMATCH[@]}")
+ local 'interpreter=/usr/bin/fontforge -lang=ff'
+ [[ -n '' ]]
+ interpreter=($interpreter)
+ __python_argcomplete_run /usr/bin/fontforge -lang=ff -m 
argcomplete._check_console_script /usr/bin/fontimage
+ [[ -z '' ]]
+ __python_argcomplete_run_inner /usr/bin/fontforge -lang=ff -m

+ [[ -z '' ]]
+ /usr/bin/fontforge -lang=ff -m argcomplete._check_console_script 
/usr/bin/fontimage

  Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

With activated bash completion (default)
