[Bash-completion-devel] Bug#587095: no longer does ~username completion

[Mirosław Zalewski]

Package: bash-completion
Version: 1:1.2-3
Severity: normal

Beside bumping this up, I would like to notice, it's not that simple as
'it does not work'. Considering root home directory completion (we all
have root user, right?):

$ ~ro<tab> # does work just fine - it gets completed into ~root
$ ls ~ro<tab> # something is wrong here. You can press <tab> to your
  death, and it won't get completed

So it does work, but not when completing argument for command (what
perhaps most users would want to do).

Cheers
Mirosław Zalewski
