Summary: DBTS 503691: does not complete files and directories as arguments
Distribution: None
Originally reported in: Debian BTS

Original bug number: 503691
Initial Comment:
Hi David,
as discussed in Palermo, here my bug report. It makes me crazy that so
many programs taking files or directories as arguments cannot be
completed.
Example:
cowbuilder --create --distribution etch --basepath /var/cache/pbu<TAB>
does NOT complete to /var/cache/pbuilder/, although the directory is
there.
Same with our TeX packing scripts:
perl tpm2deb-source.pl make-orig-tar --master=/src/TeX/Mas<TAB>
or
perl tpm2deb-source.pl make-orig-tar --master /src/TeX/Mas<TAB>
in both cases it never completes to /src/TeX/Master-2007.0 which is
there.
I assume that in lack of any information, in former times bash
completion did path name completion, but now it does nothing. That is
not good.

_minimal(), _longopt() use _filedir() as fallback, so closing this bug as invalid / fixed.
