It does not need that directory to exist. It creates it anyway and can very well place things inside even if the bash_completion package is not installed. I agree that one could consider this a bug in the daemonic package to impose the bash_completion package on people who don't want it, in particular considering that the daemonic package itself is often installed as a dependency that is not really needed. I am CCing the author of this (very recent) addition to daemonic. -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
