Subject: bash-completion: wtf completion looks for acronym databases at wrong path

Date: Fri, 6 Dec 2013 15:09:43 -0500 (EST)

Package: bash-completion
Version: 2.0-1

$ wtf [TAB]
cut: /usr/share/misc/acronyms*: No such file or directory
-f

These databases were moved from /usr/share/misc/acronyms* to 
/usr/share/games/bsdgames/acronyms* in 2002 for FHS compliance (#144804), 
but bash-completion still looks at the old path.

this is already fixed upstream
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=bash-completion/bash-completion.git;a=blob;f=completions/wtf

(note that the acronym db location is different among distros)

I looked for this commit in the new git repository and it looks like
this is it:

https://github.com/scop/bash-completion/commit/920bbb8582bcd3039ff4e4388e795e3144eb30b6


I have confirmed that the bug is actually solved with:

  $ wtf 
  Display all 1814 possibilities? (y or n)

Since this bug has been fixed after the release of bash-completion
version 2.1, as can be seen with the following command, I am setting
the fixed-version field to the closest release on Debian, which is only
version 2.7-1 (versions 2.2 through 2.6 were never release on Debian).

  $ git describe 920bbb8582bc
  2.1-51-g920bbb85

Thanks.
