Package: bash-completion
Version: 1:1.0-3
Severity: normal

Hi,

As the subject says, bash-completion is failing to expand files or
directories after the path has an embedded space.

Here's a couple of simple test-cases that fail:

$ mkdir /tmp/foo\ bar
$ touch /tmp/foo\ bar/blah
$ cat /tmp/foo\ bar/b[TAB]
## Doesn't expand to /tmp/foo\ bar/blah !!
## NB: compgen doesn't have this problem...
$ compgen -f /tmp/foo\ bar/b
/tmp/foo bar/blah

$ mkdir -p /tmp/a\ b/cde
$ cd /tmp/a\ b/c[TAB]
## Doesn't expand to /tmp/a\ b/cde !!
## NB: compgen doesn't have this problem...
$ compgen -d /tmp/a\ b/c
/tmp/a b/cde


Thanks,
--Joe
