The issue comes from
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 84 2025-03-25 19:05:01
/usr/share/zsh/vendor-completions/_python-argcomplete ->
../../../lib/python3/dist-packages/argcomplete/bash_completion.d/_python-argcomplete
This is a regression.
To reproduce:
rm -f ~/.zcompdump; mkdir -p testdir; touch $_/FOO; autoload -U compinit; $_
-D; zstyle ':completion:*' matcher-list '' 'm:{a-zA-Z}={A-Za-z}'; print -z :
testdir/f
then type the <tab> key 1 or 2 times.
I'm not a zsh user, but I did make the apparently-offending
python-argcomplete upload, so I tried to reproduce this, unsuccessfully.
Here's a complete transcript of what I did:
<cjwatson@camorr ~>$ incus delete --force rich-lamb

cjwatson@sacred-mosquito:~$ zsh
This is the Z Shell configuration function for new users,
zsh-newuser-install.
You are seeing this message because you have no zsh startup files
(the files .zshenv, .zprofile, .zshrc, .zlogin in the directory
~). This function can help you with a few settings that should
make your use of the shell easier.
You can:
(q) Quit and do nothing. The function will be run again next time.
(0) Exit, creating the file ~/.zshrc containing just a comment.
That will prevent this function being run again.
(1) Continue to the main menu.
(2) Populate your ~/.zshrc with the configuration recommended
by the system administrator and exit (you will need to edit
the file by hand, if so desired).

What am I missing?
