[Bash-completion-devel] Bug#497597: bash-completion: gdb argument completions returns error

[Kevin Mitchell]

It seems to do the same thing. I tried picking things apart a little
more this time by just entering parts of the gdb entry in the shell.
Now I'm really confused:

$ IFS=":"
$ path_array=( $(echo "$PATH") )
$ IFS=$'\n'
$ find "${path_array[@]}" . -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -not -type d
-executable -printf "%f\\n" > /dev/null
find: cannot search `': No such file or directory
$ echo find "${path_array[@]}" . -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -not -type d
-executable -printf "%f\\n"
find  /home/kevmitch/bin /usr/local/bin /usr/bin /bin /usr/games .
-mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -not -type d -executable -printf %f\n
$ find  /home/kevmitch/bin /usr/local/bin /usr/bin /bin /usr/games .
-mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -not -type d -executable -printf %f\n >
/dev/null
$ wtf?
bash: wtf?: command not found
$ ls -l /bin/sh
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2008-08-21 14:44 /bin/sh -> bash
$ apt-cache policy findutils
