Bug 254814 – app-shells/bash-completion - man page completion doesn't work properly with lzma compression

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Jan Hruban 2009-01-13 11:55:09 UTC]

I've got set lzma compression for documentation by putting PORTAGE_COMPRESS="lzma" into /etc/make.conf
Because of this, bash completion for man command does not work properly.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. put PORTAGE_COMPRESS="lzma" into make.conf
2. (re)install some package
3. try to tab-complete man command for some manpage from the (re)installed package

Actual Results:  
$ man cupsd<TAB>
cupsd.conf.5   cupsdisable.8  cupsd.8

Expected Results:  
$ man cupsd<TAB>
cupsd.conf   cupsdisable  cupsd

Forgot to mention - I've noticed this behaviour in version app-shells/bash-completion-20060301 and it persists in newest testing app-shells/bash-completion-20081218

Confirmed it is already fixed upstream and confirmed it is a problem for us. Patched in bash-completion-20081218-r1
