[Bash-completion-devel] Bug#602181: bash-completion: Running /etc/bash_completion takes 5s, , slowing every new shell

[Helge Hafting]

Package: bash-completion
Version: 1:1.2-2
Severity: normal


Noticed immense slowdowns after todays upgrade. Shell windows in particular.

After some checking, the problem is in bash-completion:

time . /etc/bash_completion

real    0m5.971s
user    0m5.000s
sys     0m0.892s

Almost 6s, 5 of them use cpu time too. I solved my problem by purging
bash-commpletion, that took away the 5s delay.
