[Bash-completion-devel] Bug#713911: bash-completion: Tab-complete directories when in symlinked directory

[Martin Monperrus]

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

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
The directories:
/path/to/toto
/path/to/foo -> /bar/foo
/bar/foo

When in /path/to/foo:
cd ../  <Tab>
Then nothing autocompletes

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
cd ../  <Tab>
/path/to/toto
/path/to/foo

   * What is the solution?
There is a bug in /etc/bash_completion, function _cd()
Disabling it in ~/.bashrc fixes the bug
complete -r cd

Credits for the solution: http://askubuntu.com/questions/155696/how-to-tab-
