See http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-bugs-dist%40lists.debian.org/msg394684.html

I'm not sure if this will get fixed upstream in response to the Debian bug so I'm submitting here.  The patch referenced does not apply against my /etc/bash_completion (app-shells/bash-completion-20060301)

This is particularly annoying when doing things like....

$ perl -I./lib ./very/long/path

Which I have to do a lot :)

Thanks

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enter perl command into shell with 1 argument
2. Partially type second argument and hit tab key for completion
3.

Actual Results:  
Completion doesn't work

Expected Results:  
Completion should work

It seems this is fixed in 20080705.
Comment 2 Santiago M. Mola (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-12-18 22:56:24 UTC 
app-shells/bash-completion-20081218 is in the tree and should fix this bug. Reopen if the problem persists in the new version.

Thanks for reporting!
