After emerging anything newer than 4.1.1-r4, all zsh commands break (completion, scripting, zsh extras). Normal commands work.
As for completion, doesn't removing ~/.zcompdump help?
reporter ping: do you still have the problem? (say, with zsh-4.2.0)
Ah, sorry about the delay...I kind of forgot about this one. The problem isn't that I don't have the commands, but using any build newer than 4.1.1-r4, it says "_alternative:69: command not found: _suffix_alias_files" if I try and tab any commands. I'm not sure if this is a new zsh "feature" or something, but it's kind of irritating. Maybe I'm just missing some way of disabling it?
No worries. _suffix_alias_files exists in /usr/share/zsh/4.2.0/functions/Completion/Zsh/_suffix_alias_files but not in 4.1.1. Do you share your /home with other machines with NFS? (I don't know why _suffix_alias_files is required by 4.1.1 completion system)
No, I don't use NFS. And I know that I have the file, it just doesn't seem to find it or something. Kind of peculiar. If I downgrade, the problem disappears, but I'd rather not downgrade for such a small inconvenience. Any idea what's causing it to not find _suffix_alias_files?
I have no idea :( I don't have the problem with 6 Gentoo boxen. Could you attach your ~/.z* (.zshrc, .zshenv, .zprofile, etc) if you don't mind?
Created attachment 31722 [details] .zshrc
Sorry for the delay. I copied your .zshrc to my home directory but it doesn't break anything. Do you still have this issue on zsh-4.2.4? (and if so please provide the output of `emerge --info`)
Actually it seems to have disappeared somewhere along the way. So no, I don't have this problem any more.
Since I wasn't able to reproduce the bug by myself (and the problem disappeard on your side), I mark this as WORKSFORME. Hope you don't mind it. Thanks for using Gentoo!
