Package: bash-completion
Version: 1:1.1-3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Please apply the patch below. The problem is that declare has a nasty
side-effect: it make variables local if they are called from within a
function. I source my /etc/bash_completion in my .bashrc as:
sourceif() { test -r "$1" && . "$1"; }
[...]
sourceif /etc/bash_completion
meaning that if I move to a machine without bash-completion installed,
my profile will still work.
However, this means that bash4 is made local to the function, and
hence completion fails on filenames with spaces, as bash4 is unset by
the time the test is used.
This patch makes the bash* variables readonly without using the
localising declare function.
