[Bash-completion-devel] Bug#666933: Enabling nullglob breaks file/directory completion

[Shalom Bhooshi]

Package: bash-completion
Version:    1:1.99-3


If nullglob option is enabled in the shell (via `shopt -s nullglob')
the completion of files/directories for commands such as `ls', `cd',
etc fail - this is because the various completion functions inherit
this setting from the shell and do not make local this setting.
