[Bash-completion-devel] Bug#487774: bash-completion: '. /etc/bash_completion' exits non-zero

[Julien Cristau]

Package: bash-completion
Version: 20080617.3
Severity: grave

$ . /etc/bash_completion
$ echo $?
1

hmm?

Reverting to 20060301-4 fixes this.

Setting BASH_COMPLETION_DEBUG to a non-empty value, it seems that the
processing stops after
{
  # These declarations must go within braces in order to be able to silence
  # readonly variable errors.
  BASH_COMPLETION="${BASH_COMPLETION:-/etc/bash_completion}"
  BASH_COMPLETION_DIR="${BASH_COMPLETION_DIR:=/etc/bash_completion.d}"
} 2>/dev/null || :


Cheers,
Julien
