Public bug reported: Binary package hint: bash-completion
Here are some regressions that showed up on Hardy recently. (Currently using 20060301-1ubuntu1). === Support for file names with spaces is broken: 1. Directory example $ mkdir -p "dir a/dir b/dir c" $ ls dir[TAB] => $ ls dir\ a/[TAB] => Nothing happens. You're stuck there. 2. File example $ touch "file 1 with spaces in name" "file 2 with spaces in name" $ ls f[TAB] => $ ls file\ [TAB] => $ls file\\\ [TAB] => $ ls file\\\\\\\ [TAB] => $ ls file\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ [TAB] => $ ls file\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ [TAB] and so on... Not very useful. === scp host completion is broken: $ grep "Host homer" ~/.ssh/config Host homer homer.jknet homer.local $ scp hom[TAB] => $ scp homer homer.jknet homer.local: With ssh it works: $ ssh hom[TAB] => $ ssh homer[TAB] homer homer.jknet homer.local === scp file completion is broken: Case 1: This is bit strange. It works like expected from $HOME but not from other directories: $ cd test $ scp homer:[TAB] => $ scp homer: amy amy.jknet amy.local: file\ 1\ with\ spaces\ in\ name arthur arthur.jknet: file\ 2\ with\ spaces\ in\ name [...] Ie. it lists other hosts from ~/.ssh/config and files from pwd. In older versions it listed the contents of the default directory on the remote host. Much more useful. Case 2: Expansion happens on the local host instead of on the remote host. $ cd $ ls -d Archive* Archive/ Archive.test/ $ ssh chaos "ls -d Archive*" Archive Archive.nobackup $ scp chaos:Arch[TAB] => $ scp chaos:Archive[TAB] => $ scp chaos:Archive Archive/ Archive.test/ Wrong! It should show Archive and Archive.nobackup. 2nd example for that: $ ls xxx xxy ls: cannot access xxx: No such file or directory ls: cannot access xxy: No such file or directory $ ssh chaos "ls xxx xxy" xxx ls: xxy: No such file or directory $ scp chaos:xx[TAB] => nothing happens because completion is done locally $ touch xxy $ scp chaos:xx[TAB] => $ scp chaos:xxy Wrong! xxy is on the local host, not on the remote host. ** Affects: bash-completion (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Confirmed -- Hardy regressions [bash-completion] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/194860 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
