[Bash-completion-devel] Bug#632591: bash-completion: Completion of shell redirection broken for psql

[Dietrich Epp]

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


I am restoring a Postgres database in the following way:

    $ psql -U dbuser -d dbname < dbname.db

However, tab completion does not work for completing the database dump name.
I tried "./<TAB>" and that didn't work either (it should be obvious that I'm
trying to look for a file in the current directory).

What's especially surprising is that this functionality works just fine
without bash-completion installed.
