Subject: bash-completion: openssl verify -CAfile dem<tab> completes to just a directory name

Date: Wed, 02 Jun 2010 22:33:56 +0100

Package: bash-completion
Version: 1:1.1-3
Severity: normal

Typing the following:

erdos:/tmp $ openssl verify -CAfile dem<TAB> 

gives

erdos:/tmp $ openssl verify -CAfile demoCA _

(where the _ indicates the new cursor position), even though demoCA is
a directory.  Backspacing and adding a slash gives the following
behaviour:

erdos:/tmp $ openssl verify -CAfile demoCA/<TAB><TAB>
demoCA/cacert.pem      demoCA/crlnumber       demoCA/newcerts
demoCA/careq.pem       demoCA/index.txt       demoCA/private
demoCA/certs           demoCA/index.txt.attr  demoCA/serial
demoCA/crl             demoCA/index.txt.old   demoCA/server.key

which is not what I would have expected or wanted.

Why am I not getting plain old filename completion?
