Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: bash
In Ubuntu 10.04 and before, typing a tilde followed by a part of a
username and pressing tab would complete the username and add a slash.
For example, if a user 'sander' exists on the system, this:
root@vmhost:~# cd ~san
followed by <TAB> would result in:
root@vmhost:~# cd ~sander/
Starting with Ubuntu 10.10, nothing happens after pressing TAB.
Bash packages on 10.04:
ii bash 4.1-2ubuntu3
The GNU Bourne Again SHell
ii bash-completion 1:1.1-3ubuntu2
programmable completion for the bash shell
On 10.10:
ii bash 4.1-2ubuntu4 The GNU
Bourne Again SHell
ii bash-completion 1:1.2-2ubuntu1.1
programmable completion for the bash shell
