[Bash-completion-devel] Bug#685223: does not properly expand with tar long options

[Marc Haber]

Package: bash-completion
Version: 1:2.0-1
Severity: normal

tar --extract --file tarfi<TAB> does not work even if a tarfile.tar is
present in the current directory. On the other hand, tar xf tarfi<TAB>
works. Looks like long option processing was omitted when the
completion rules for tar were written.

Greetings
Marc
