While experimenting with this, I found out that, if I change the empty lines in the package description by a '.' , so that the new lines looks like as follows. 22560 Package: nxserver 22561 Status: install ok installed 22562 Priority: optional 22563 Section: base 22564 Maintainer: NoMachine S.r.l.

Now, the problem does not arise any more. IIRC, Debian requires a '.' as continuation between successive paragraphs in the package description. So, it might be better to fix this in the nxserver package. I will contact the nxserver package's maintainers regarding this. What puzzles me is that the auto completion was working fine without grep-status. But when grep-status is employed, it borks. So, I will let the bash maintainers decide if this is considered a bug or not. thanks raju -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
