Package: bash-completion
Version: 1:2.1-4
Severity: normal
scp completion is broken on files with special characters such as *,
as bash forgets to quote them.
To reproduce, on the remote side, create two files:
abc*defghi
abc*dzzzdefghi
Then type:
scp host:ab[TAB]
One gets:
scp host:abc*d
But if one types 'e' and [TAB], the completion doesn't work.
Note: zsh doesn't have this problem.
