Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: bash-completion
In bash try "modprobe -r /<tab>" (in which <tab> means pressing the <tab> key
to auto complete.
I get an errornous output "awk: line 1: syntax error at or near )".
What should happen is file/directory name should be completed (even if/when
"modprobe -r" expects a module name as parameter). There shouldn't be an error
message (not before user press <enter>.
The bug does not occur when doing other modprobe functions eg "modprobe /<tab>"
or "modprobe -l /<tab>".
It seems the key to failure is the parameter '-r' and '/' sign in the beginning
of "module name".
Tested in two Ubuntu hardy 8.04 32bit desktop and one Ubuntu Intrepid
8.10 64bit server.
