Description Steffen Hau 2009-05-26 10:19:11 UTC

Bash Completion for rmmod no longer works. It says:

rmmod -su: /sbin/lsmod: File or directory not found

The location of lsmod is hardcoded into /usr/share/bash-completion/base and since module-init-tools the lsmod binary has moved from /sbin to /bin.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge =sys-apps/module-init-tools
2. enable bash-completion base
3. rmmod <tab>

Actual Results:  
Bash completion fails.

Expected Results:  
rmmod shows the list of loaded modules

Since bug 271302 is a WONTFIX, a simple one-character change fixes this for bash-completion-1.0-r3:
