Public bug reported: Binary package hint: zsh
If I run zsh as root, or under sudo, and choose "n" when it asks to "Ignore insecure directories and continue", then auto-complete breaks. Here's an example session (I get as far as "ls /e" then press tab and the error shows up): flash% sudo zsh Ignore insecure directories and continue [ny]? n run compaudit to see list of insecure directories compinit: initialization aborted flash# ls /e_main_complete:122: permission denied: es/development/sprint-tracks _complete:96: bad math expression: operand expected at `' flash# ls /e ** Affects: zsh (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Zsh auto-complete as root is broken https://launchpad.net/bugs/66870 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
