Subject: pdns-recursor uninstall problem

Subject: pdns-recursor: Unuinstall problem
Package: pdns-recursor
Version: 3.1.7-1+lenny1
Severity: normal

*** Please type your report below this line ***
Installing pdns-recursor works fine and the package is usable but when 
bash-completion is installed and the commnets from /etc/bash.bashrc 
about bash-completion in interactive shell are removed the pdns-recursor 
doesn't apear.

So: dpkg -P pdns- (TAB-TAB) show the packages installed which start with 
pdns- but pdns-recursor doesn't apear.

root@ns1:~# dpkg -P pdns-
pdns-backend-mysql pdns-doc pdns-server
root@ns1:~# dpkg -P pdns-


root@ns1:~# dpkg -P pdns-recursor (typed by hand, because I know that 
I've installed that package)

reassign 611426 bash-completion
retitle 611426 No completion on an installed package.
thx

Hello,

This is probably not a bug in the pdns-recursor package but a problem
in the completion code from bash. I therefore reassign this bug to
bash_completion.

Are you really sure that pdns-recursor is correctly installed on the system?

Regards,

Matthijs Möhlmann

Just trying to reproduce Marius' bug, I installed pdns-recursor:

$ sudo apt-get install pdns-recursor
[..]
$ dpkg -P pd<TAB>
pdftk          pdns-recursor
$

So it's working here.

Other than this, I would suggest to do a "set -x", and then "dpkg -P
pdns-<TAB>", and paste the output in this bugreport. It smells much like a
configuration problem to me.

Kindly,
David
