Strange. Using trunk directly, without any mandriva-specific patches, it 
does just echo '\' characters:
sudo vim <TAB> ->  sudo vim \ \
sudo chown <TAB> -> sudo chown \

It seems like you've got the rpm binary installed, hence allowing the 
definition of _rpm completion function, without having an actual rpm 
database installed... I don't know if it is a corner case, or if we 
should try to workaround it specifically.

Anyway, it seems we're missing a stderr redirection while calling rpm 
-qa in _rpm_installed_packages function.
