[Bash-completion-devel] Bug#648319: bash-completion: /etc/bash_completion script doesn't do the job.

[Simon Chopin]

Package: bash-completion
Version: 1:1.90-1
Severity: normal

Hi !

When using the experimental bash-completion package, I noticed that the
completion wouldn't work anymore when using the code snippet found in
the default /etc/bash.bashrc, which refers to /etc/bash_completion.

I assume that at some point, the bash package will update this location
to point to /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion, but in the mean
time, I think it would be better if the /etc file would be dropped, or
at least be changed into a symlink to the /usr/share. This way, the
point of break would be more evident.

Since the package doing the breaking is in experimental, I did not file
a bug report for the bash package itself, I hope it is OK ?

Best regards,

Simon
