Sorry for not getting back earlier. I think I have found the cause for the problem at our site.
As I said we have a mixed environment with different versions of ubuntu and redhat. In our common bashrc there is a check if the variable $BASH_COMPLETION is set. On Redhat and until ubuntu 12 this variable gets set to /etc/bash_completion if bash_completion is sourced. This is not the case with ubuntu 14 so our bashrc sources some legacy bash_completion from an NFS mount. For ubuntu 14 this legacy stuff adds the trailing space in our case. Thus I think this bug can be closed. Nonetheless I'd like to know if there is way to detect if bash_completion is already sourced other than checking the BASH_COMPLETION variable. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1372286 Title: unwanted space after directory completion (probably old cruft after upgrades) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bash-completion/+bug/1372286/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
