[Bash-completion-devel] Bug#653837: bash-completion: Variable $HOME in paths is escaped

[xiscu]

Package: bash-completion
Version: 1:1.3-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

* What led up to the situation?
- Pressing <tab> to auto complete a path that uses $HOME


* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
   ineffective)?
-  Just try: dir $HOME/ and then press <tab>


* What was the outcome of this action?
- The command is changed to: dir \$HOME/
(- If you then press <return> you will get the error:
dir: cannot access $HOME/: No such file or directory)

* What outcome did you expect instead?
- The command should be changed with the true $HOME value


Thanks in advance !
