strange to me auto completion error

2021-09-02 Thread Michael via PLUG-discuss
whenever I type rm $LFS/so  it is replaced with:

bmike1@bmike1-desktop:~$ rm \$LFS/so (and the auto complete options)

which upon completion results in:

rm: cannot remove '$LFS/sources/wget-list': No such file or directory

why is it doing this?

do you have a file in that directory named "$LFS"?  the backslash in your
autocomplete means it's treating it as an escaped $ instead of a variable.
