Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: bash-completion
Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS
bash-completion 1:1.1-3ubuntu2
mawk 1.3.3-15ubuntu2
bash-completion uses '[:space:]' syntax for character class, which is
supported by gawk, but not mawk, which Ubuntu uses to provide awk by
default.
Test:
bash-4.1$ _available_interfaces; echo ${COMPREPLY[*]}
Expected:
eth0 lo
Got:
<nothing>
Fix by requiring gawk, or changing line 517 of /etc/bash_completion to
use '[^ ^I^M]' to match non-whitespace characters.
** Affects: bash-completion (Ubuntu)
