Bug 920834 – dev-lang/ghc-9.2.8 missing bash completion symlink

• Status: UNCONFIRMED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Attila Tóth 2023-12-27 23:05:11 UTC]

* Problems with installed bash completions were found:
 *
 *      ghci: missing alias (symlink) for completed command.
 *
 * For more details on installing bash-completions, please see:
 * https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Bash/Installing_completion_files

Reproducible: Always




Adding "bashcomp_alias ghc ghci" to the bash completion section solves the warning:
