Package: bash
Version: 4.3-2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
The completion of files that contain spaces is broken:
$ touch a\ b1 a\ b2
$ ls a\ b
Press TAB: nothing happen.
The bash-completion package verions
ii bash-completion 1:2.1-2
It's working with bash version 4.3-1.
I check in the completion script and found that compgen (bash-completion
package) does not behave the same depending on bash version.
Version 4.3-1:
$ compgen -f -X '' -- 'a\\\ '
a b2
a b1
$
Version 4.3-2:
$ compgen -f -X '' -- 'a\\\ '
$
I wrote this patch and it seems to correct this issue but I do not know if
this is the right approach.
