[Bash-completion-devel] Bug#721706: bash-completion: "export" completion quite broken

[Peter De Wachter]

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

Dear Maintainer,

Trying to use tab-completion with the export built-in results in quite bizarre
behavior:

input:  export HOME=<tab>
result: export '/home/pdewacht/'

input:  export HOME=/<tab>
result: export H

input:  export HOME=/h<tab>
result: export HOME=

I expected simple filename completion, like you get without bash-completion
installed.
