Package: bash-completion
Version: 1:1.1-2
Severity: normal
Just updated bash-completion today and have begun seeing the following
message whenever a new bash instance starts up and sources the
bash_completion file:
bash: /etc/bash_completion: line 967: syntax error near unexpected token `{'
bash: /etc/bash_completion: line 967: ` else if ($1 !~ /:/ && $1 ~ /^'"$cur"'/) { print $1 }}'
It is in the insmod section. The following if statment is totally messed
up:
if [ $COMP_CWORD -gt 1 ] &&
[[ "${COMP_WORDS[COMP_CWORD-1]}" != -* ]]; then
# do module parameter completion
COMPREPLY=( $( compgen -W "$( /sbin/modinfo -p ${COMP_WORDS[1]} | \
cut -d: -f1 )" -- "$cur" ) )
else if ($1 !~ /:/ && $1 ~ /^'"$cur"'/) { print $1 }}' ) )
else
_modules $(uname -r)
fi
There are a bunch of unmatched quotes and parentheses near that else
if. Beyond that however, I must apologise that it is voodoo to me.
