I mean upstream of the other packages...

:-(   It was ONLY an idea.

Hmmm, it seesm I have a problem on my Devel-Station, because  it  is  an
old package which was never updated...  since 2 years!  --  Weird!

The old version of bash-completion has loaded the whole stuf into memory

I was arround 2 years not active, because I have a  new  enterprise  for
Electronic Development and now I am at the point, WHERE I HAVE  TO  COME
BACK to get my stuff working with Debian GNU/Linux.

Without OS my products are screwed...

:-D  Yeah, this will save you some Paracetamol...

OK, I am ongoing (i some days) to buy a new and  bigger  hadrddrive  and
reinstall my Devel-Station because I think, there ae many things  I  can
do, even if I stay more or less in my own project.

I have a list of 38 packags which are important for my projects.

OK, I parse the output, check it for DIR/EEC and use ESC sequnces...

But if not carefully coded it screw up the display...  So,  currently  I
can only say: "It works for me and my Work/Devel-Station!"

On my ARM Microcontroller (AT91SAM9263) with a 4"  480x272  TFT  display
attached and framebuffer it screew up the screen , but on my  TI  Sitara
AM3517 it works.  :-/
