Public bug reported: Binary package hint: bash-completion
This is hard to actually capture since apparently a carriage return is output and overwrites the rest of the line.. ssh -i bash: $index: substring expression < 0 Basically, to reproduce, try this: 1. type 'ssh someu...@somehost' 2. move cursor back between ssh and someuser 3. type '-i ' and hit TAB 4. Error happens. NOTE: You must follow the instructions exactly. If you do 'ssh -i' and then hit TAB, it works.
