Date: Sat, 23 Apr 2011 17:31:41 -0700

Package: bash-completion
Version: 1:1.3-2
Severity: normal

With the experimental bash-completion, I don't seem to have completions
for "man" anymore.  Not sure what other completions I've lost.

ACK.

Quick workaround:

  ln -s /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/man /var/lib/bash-completion/

In the meanwhile, I'll add man-db, and other missing completions, to a
"whitelist", so that they always get loaded. At least I don't introduce
regressions :)

I need to come with something better upstream though, and the idea of metadata
inside the completion files gets stronger each day :)

Sorry for the inconvenience,
David

That doesn't make sense; man-db provides a command "man", so shoudn't
that cause bash-completion to provide the completions for "man"?

No, because the /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/man doesn't use the
"have man" syntax, from which /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/compdict
is generated, which is used to look for completions to install.

As I said elsewhere, it's not completely foolproof yet :)

Josh, I found another way to do this. I'll upload a -3 to experimental ASAP, it
should correctly symlink the man completion (and others not using "have").

Kindly,
David
