[Bash-completion-devel] Bug#525293: bash-completion: scp completion clutters screen with error "permission denied"

[Rapha?l Hertzog]

Package: bash-completion
Version: 1:1.0-2
Severity: normal

Trying to complete scp with <tab> results in:
rhertzog at rivendell:~$ scp bash: /home/rhertzog/.ssh/debian_known_hosts: Permission denied

Here's my .ssh/config:
---
# Localhost is used to port-forward to other machines
# and we don't want to mix their host keys in the usual
# list of known_hosts
Host localhost 10.0.2.2 10.0.2.45
    StrictHostKeyChecking no
    UserKnownHostsFile /dev/null

# Debian-specific setup
Host wagner.debian.org
    User rhertzog
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_wagner

Host alioth.debian.org
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_alioth

Host *.debian.org
    User hertzog
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_debian
    IdentitiesOnly yes
    UserKnownHostsFile ~/.ssh/debian_known_hosts
    StrictHostKeyChecking yes

# Setup to go over braindead firewalls where 443 goes out

    ProxyCommand ssh -q -a -p 443 -x gluck.debian.org 'nc -w1 $(basename %h .overgluck) 22'

So unless it's trying to execute the file, I don't understand
where the error message comes from.
