Subject: debconf: bash completion does not work with dpkg-reconfigure

Date: Wed, 04 Apr 2007 23:29:33 -0400

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: debconf
Version: 1.5.11
Severity: normal


Consider the attached .bashrc. Using this file, If I do

$ /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure apt-<TAB>

it expands to

$ /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure apt-^[[00m^[[00m

which is not correct.

The .bashrc is the pristine bashrc that a new user would get plus the following
lines

if [ ! -z "$PS1" ]; then
  function grep(){ command grep --color=always "$@"; }
fi

Please reassign if you think the bug belongs to the grep package.

thanks
raju

debconf does not contain any completions for dpkg-reconfigure..

In that case, which package is responsible for this behaviour : grep or bash?

I don't know; I don't see any dpkg-reconfigure completions in
/etc/bash_completion.d here.

Ditto here. 

Note that having these would be a good idea, indeed.:)

Version: 1:1.0-3

Hello,
seems like this has been fixed in more recent versions of bash-completion -- I
can't reproduce it with 1.0, thus closing the bug.

Kindly,
David
