Subject: bash-completion: Fails to auto-complete /etc/hosts hostnames after ~/.ssh/config file created
Date: Wed, 21 Dec 2016 13:02:09 +0100
Package: bash-completion
Version: 1:2.1-4.3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Initially, auto-completion of hosts was working as expected, auto-completing hosts defined in /etc/hosts.
After adding a ~/.ssh/config file, auto-completion of hosts defined in /etc/hosts no longer works. When moving
the config file out of the way, auto-completion works normally again. Auto-completion of hosts defined in
~/.ssh/config _does_ work, but only those defined there.

As my /etc/hosts file is quite extensive, and I only need the ssh config file for one small setting, I don't
want to include all hosts in the ssh config file. I would expect to auto-complete hostnames from /etc/hosts 
even when a ~/.ssh/config file is present.

BR,
Miel

FWIW, I (upstream) cannot reproduce using upstream bash-completion
development code directly on Fedora, haven't tried with Debian.

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
I've been trying to look at the source, to find what the problem is. But
with my limited knowledge I could use some assistance.

Looking at the "ssh" completion, it seems hosts are coming from the
"hostcomplete" variable / parameter. But I haven't found where this one is
coming from.
I tried disabling loading the "~/.ssh/config" file in the "bash-completion"
script, but this didn't make a difference.

Could someone perhaps explain where the "hostcomplete" is coming from, so I
might be able to debug this further?

Thx,
Miel

Issue can be closed - was related to user-specific setup

After debugging I found that certain scripts were loaded that would
override the ssh completion when a config file was present. So not related
to the bash-completion package itself.
Thanks for earlier feedback.

Regards,
Miel
