[Bash-completion-devel] Bug#741860: bash-completion 1:2.1-2 tab-completion is broken

[shirish शिरीष]

Package: bash-completion
Version: 1:2.1-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,
I do not know whether the issue is with bash or bash-completion but
either way it's broken. This happened though few days ago only.

This is what happens when I try to use tab-completion.

$ touch Network\ <tab-key>

Now previously if there were more than 1 choice it would show, now it
just stays there. Even if I do :-

$ touch Network\  M<tab-key>

There is no response, previously it used to work.
I saw that there have been few bug-reports about bash-completion viz;

#741479,#730239 and #741273 and I do have the same issue as well. I
have no idea if both the issues are same or these are two different
issues as well.

New terminal, single tab key pressed :-

$ bash: words: bad array subscript

with double tabs do get the directory (which I guess is a feature of
tab-completion).

Looking forward to know if I can help with something as in help in
triaging it some other way as well.

Looking forward for some help.

Till l8er.
