Subject: bash-completion: when running aptitude purge <tab> I get error

Date: Wed, 20 Jun 2012 00:14:52 +0100

Package: bash-completion
Version: 1:2.0-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

When I try and auto complete a package name when doing aptitude purge I get the
following two error messages appear on pressing the tab

ash: /etc/completions/dpkg: No such file or directory
-bash: _comp_dpkg_installed_packages: command not found

Where I would normally expect the package name to be completed.

Thanks

Ben

I can't reproduce this.

Could you please do a "set -x", and then "aptitude purge <TAB>"? (don't press
TAB to complete "aptitude" or "purge", otherwise your debug output would get
messy)

Thanks,
David

Hi David

I attempted to reproduce the problem to provide the debug output you
requested.

I could not reproduce it in a new terminal.  So I returned to the original
and the problem was there.  However upon closing and reopening it the
problem went away.

So I suggest closing the bug as unreprucible.

Sorry for wasting your time.

Ben
