Bug#463507: Need more info. (zsh: Completion fails with: _main_complete:161: permission denied:)

The _main_complete:161: permission denied: error returns after exiting restarting 'zsh' without the '-f' etc. Might be worth noting: with plain 'zsh' doing 'ls TAB' outputs the same error, but with 'zsh -f' etc. 'ls TAB' works much like 'bash' does, showing various filenames.

You'll need to also do 'autoload -Uz compinit;compinit' to make the switch from compctl to compsys. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

For BTS browsers who don't want to backtrack, the fix so far is: zsh -f rm -rf ~/.zsh/cache ~/.zcompdump autoload -Uz compinit;compinit Restarting as regular 'zsh' the bug comes back... so, assuming there's now enough data to answer: is this a 'zsh' bug, or was and is my config somehow borked? If my config is borked, what's the right way to make this fix permanent default? BTW: I notice the 'zsh' switch completion seems more thorough than that of 'bash'. 'bash' only does a '--' (double hyphen) completion, but 'zsh' does single and double hyphens. The 'fish' shell has completion powers comparable to 'zsh'. Another observation, maybe different bug. With the above fix, if I do: ls --nTAB 'zsh' auto-completes this as: ls --n-g ...which does not currently seem to be an 'ls' option. Hitting TAB a second time auto-completes as: ls --no-group ...which is a proper 'ls' option. Bug, or maybe some legacy 'ls' option? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org

If my config is borked, what's the right way to Well, possibly both. All we've established thus far is that something in your config is consistently triggering something unexpected. Try ls -Ctrl-X? (that is, hit whatever's bound to _complete_debug at the point you would normally trigger the error with TAB) and send the resulting debug output in /tmp to the bug report. make this fix permanent default?

I think that's a bug.. it should be offering you --no-group and --numeric-uid-gid until you disambiguate. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
