I just encountered this on my server, which is debian with bash 4.1.5(1)-release, python 2.6.6 and kernel 2.6.32-5-amd64
But it works with calling the python cmd only: python /etc/ba<TAB>sh_completion.d/ Exploit: /usr/bin/python /etc/ba<TAB>-bash: COMP_WORDS: Falscher Feldbezeichner. sh Notice: it does not matter what the path is Since this is the only bug I found for this (german spelled) error message, I am posting here, though I encountered it NOT on Ubuntu, but Debian. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/660613 Title: COMP_WORDS bad array subscript in python completion To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bash-completion/+bug/660613/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
