Package: bash-completion-lib
Version: 1.3.1-2
Severity: grave
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Sometimes, weird things happen to command lines.
Example:
$ ls -l download.s_E6Re
... huge listing, instead of just the one file ...
bash: --color=auto: command not found
$
This happens rarely (and, AFAICT, randomly), but only when
bash-completion-lib (/etc/bash_completion_lib/bash_completion_lib) has
been sourced.
I'm filing this as grave because splitting command lines like that can
easily lead to very bad things, like data loss (for example, losing -i
on rm) or exposing data that needs to remain secret (losing --exclude on
tar). Also, my brother has seen this on Ubuntu (karmic) as well, so its
not just my system (or even just Debian).

Hi
I am closing this bug since bash-completion-lib has been
removed from Debian and therefore will not be fixed in
Debian.
Please see bug #575497 if you are interested in the reason
why this was removed.
~Niels
