Bug 717151

This has nothing to do with GNOME. I'm assuming this is bash, so assigning to Werner. If bash-completion is installed or if another shell is used, it should be reassigned.

Here it works but I do not use bash-completion and I've tested with
openSUSE 12.1 bash 4.2.20(1) from factory.

Simple test with usung nornmal completion is:

 bash> complete -r
 bash> . /etc/profile.d/complete.bash
 bash> /et<TAB>

which shoes /etc/ without spaces at the end of the string.

Can you try installing the latest packaged bash-completion:

http://software.opensuse.org/ymp/shells/openSUSE_12.1/bash-completion.ymp?base=openSUSE%3A12.1&query=bash-completion

And see if you can still reproduce the problem?

Reboot after installation to make sure you're using the new completions.

Sorry, just noticed that you're using 11.4, not 12.1.
So the correct link is this:

http://software.opensuse.org/ymp/shells/openSUSE_11.4/bash-completion.ymp?base=openSUSE%3A11.4&query=bash-completion

Any news?
I can't reproduce this.
If no-one else is able to reproduce it, and Andres doesn't report anything about the updated package I'll close this in 7 days.

I close this bug, since apparently no-one is able to reproduce it.

Feel free to reopen this if you can reproduce it.

Same here on openSUSE 12.3 x86-64 final:

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to console
2. type  less /et
3. press tab
4. You'll see the extra space on the completion. ("less /etc " instead of "/etc/")

Bug within bash-completion package, more specifically line 1789 of file /usr/share/bash-completion/bash-completion

< complete -F _longopt a2ps awk base64 bash bc bison cat colordiff cp csplit \
> complete -F _longopt -o filenames a2ps awk base64 bash bc bison cat colordiff cp csplit \

That is, add -o filenames . The Ubuntu bug database knows the solution

escpecially comment #10.

I can't help, as I have no openSUSE systems available to reproduce the bug.
Note that I'm no longer the maintainer of bash-completion.
Because of this, I'm setting the default assignee.

Q: Who is bug owner of bash-completion?

the package was submitted by Marco. If he no longer cares, please file a deleterequest and close as WONTFIX

(In reply to comment #10)

Cool ... you want do delete a package which will be required by some base system packages as well as by many users.  What about asking on the mailing lists for a maintainer?

#>rpm -e bash-completion
error: package bash-completion is not installed

Can't be that essential

/suse/werner> zcat /work/SRC/INDEX.spec.gz | grep SRC/all | xargs grep -E '^((Build)?Requires|Recommends|Suggests):[[:blank:]]*bash-completion'
/work/SRC/all/subversion/subversion.spec:BuildRequires:  bash-completion
/work/SRC/all/subversion/subversion.spec:Requires:       bash-completion

.. guess: many developers will install not only git but also svn

as long as they don't install subversion-bash-completion, there is hardly a problem.

Unfortunately, nobody seems to care, although I have alreday presented the fix :-(

(In reply to comment #15)

Would you like to become a maintainer/bugowner of bash-completion?

While writing comment 15, I was looking forward to receive this question. However, I have in neither way the technical background to maintain this package. Further, I personally feel that there are more and more bugs within OpenSUSE, so I already spend more time in reporting and debugging them (see my other posts) than I actually have. I already have a 60h/week job and my employer does not provide any time for that. Please note, that I use OpenSUSE only on my private computer at home.

Sorry for that!

Btw. I have some contentious question: Are'nt there some guys which maintain the commercial versions of suse, which should have some interest in an operating OpenSUSE? At least for intermediately fixing things in packages with currently no maintainer?

With reporting bugs and providing necessary infos I try to give something back to the community.

As long as bash_completion is not part of a comercial product this will not happen.  And bash copletion is somehow a source of bugs due to the fact that programmable completion is quite complex and it changes between the bash versions.

Even if I'm maintainer of bash I prefere tcsh for interactive work because completion makes much more fun.   See for an example the base completion /etc/profile.d/complete.bash I've written and compare this to e.g. /etc/profile.d/complete.tcsh
