Package: bash-completion Version: 1:1.3-1 Severity: important Hi, since the last (? I really do not remember after which update but it was quite recently) bash_completion is not working as expected.
For example ls /e[TAB] expands into ls /etc[SPACE] while the directory is apparently not empty. Other example is sudo. It used to auto-complete sudo /etc/init.d/openvpn start O[TAB] to OpenvpnName but now it doesn't do anything. I have seen a similar issue on the Arch Linux forums (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=113158) but the proposed solution (remove _filedir function definition from the '/etc/bash_completion.d/acroread) didn't work. What really works for me is to either downgrade to the stable version or replace /etc/bash_completion file by the one from the stable release. The diff between testing and stable version is, however, too big and the only one that mentions sudo doesn't seem to be relevant so I assume a deeper problem. Is this a known issue? I do not see anything in the bug tracker. Is there anything that would help with debugging? -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.38-rc6-00166-g493f335 (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) (ignored: LC_ALL set to C) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages bash-completion depends on: ii bash 4.1-3 The GNU Bourne Again SHell bash-completion recommends no packages. bash-completion suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- Michal Hocko -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
