Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: bash-completion
Description: Ubuntu 9.10
Release: 9.10
$ apt-cache policy bash-completion
bash-completion:
Installed: 1:1.0-3ubuntu2
Candidate: 1:1.0-3ubuntu2
Version table:
*** 1:1.0-3ubuntu2 0
500 http://ch.archive.ubuntu.com karmic/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
I created a file called *.jpg:
lbedf...@stierenried:~/Pictures/Backgrounds$ touch \*.jpg
I try to tab complete it with ls:
lbedf...@stierenried:~/Pictures/Backgrounds$ ls \*bash: [: too many arguments
.jpbash: [: too many arguments
bash: [: too many arguments
bash never actually completes the filename.
Not being sure if it was bash or bash-completion at fault, I purged
bash-completion from
my machine, and with a new bash, it worked correctly, so it appears to be
in bash-completion somewhere.
