Package: adobereader-enu
Version: 9.4.2
Severity: critical
Tags: upstream patch
Justification: breaks unrelated software
As described in the following Ubuntu bug report, the presence of
/etc/bash_completion.d/acroread.sh causes completions for many other programs
to erroneously give spaces after directories and other silliness:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acroread/+bug/769866/comments/7 et
seq.
That file is a symlink to /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Resource/Shell/acroread_tab which
I presume was provided in the upstream package.
The problem is that it redefines the function _filedir() that is provided as a
default used by many other packages. The attached patch renames it to
_acroread_filedir, so that it only affects acroread and no other packages.
