Subject: rsync: "rsync root@host:'dat' /<Tab>" doesn't autocomplete

Date: Mon, 01 Aug 2016 16:49:06 +0300

Package: rsync
Version: 3.1.1-3
Severity: normal

The following command does not autocomplete:
rsync root@host:'dat' /<Tab>

bash-completion is installed. The following is uncommented in /etc/bash.bashrc:
if ! shopt -oq posix; then
  if [ -f /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion ]; then
    . /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion
  elif [ -f /etc/bash_completion ]; then
    . /etc/bash_completion
  fi
fi

Completion works normally in other commands, such as dpkg.
"rsync root@host:dat /<Tab>" works normally.

The rsync package does not contain any bash completion files;
hence I'm reassigning this bug to the bash-completion package.

Thanks,
