[Bash-completion-devel] Bug#511788: completion of usernames broken

[Christoph Anton Mitterer]

Package: bash-completion
Version: 20080705
Severity: normal

Hi.

Completion of usernames is broken and "\: " or \ is inserted
e.g.
chown cuser\:  (space at the end)
chown calestyo\\\:calestyo
etc. etc.

Completion of users/groups with a "." (which is widely used at big  
sites like firstname.secondname) and perhaps with other strange  
characters is even more broken ^^

Thanks,
Chris.
