Summary: Typo in file /etc/bash_completion, part of app-shells/bash-completion-20050721

Description Peter Humphrey 2005-12-05 08:43:52 UTC
I think this hyphen is a typo; it's on line 34 of /etc/bash_completion:

BASH_COMPLETION="${BASH_COMPLETION:-/etc/bash_completion}"

If my bash is ok, the hyphen will cause the result of the attempted assignment
to be false every time. The assignment on the following line uses the expected
equals sign.

(I've filed this under AMD64 because that's my platform, but the same typo also
exists on my x86 box so perhaps it's on all platforms.)


Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Georg Müller 2006-02-07 01:56:34 UTC
I don't see a problem here.
If variable BASH_COMPLETION is set, nothing will change (BASH_COMPLETION=$BASH_COMPLETION), if it is not defined, it will get the value "/etc/bash_completion"

See man bash (search for ":-" )
Comment 2 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-07-31 12:54:02 UTC
Not a bug.
