[Bash-completion-devel] Bug#498474: same problem here

[Filip Rembiałkowski]

I can confirm that this bug appears in current (2008-10-16) lenny.


pgdba at sulaco:~$ echo $SHELL
/bin/sh
# (now I will type 'src/postgres' and press <TAB> several times)
pgdba at sulaco:~$ cd src/postgres-sh: <( compgen -d -- 'src/postgres' ):
Nie ma takiego pliku ani katalogu
-sh: <( compgen -d -- 'src/postgres' ): Nie ma takiego pliku ani katalogu
-sh: <( compgen -d -- 'src/postgres' ): Nie ma takiego pliku ani katalogu
-sh: <( compgen -d -- 'src/postgres' ): Nie ma takiego pliku ani katalogu
-sh: <( compgen -d -- 'src/postgres' ): Nie ma takiego pliku ani katalogu


apt-get --reinstall install bash-completion
does not help

chsh -s /bin/bash user
DOES help.

it seems that bash-completion is not compatible with sh compatibility
mode of bash.

pgdba at sulaco:~$ bash --version
GNU bash, version 3.2.39(1)-release (i486-pc-linux-gnu)
