Description Jeremy Olexa (darkside) (RETIRED) archtester

Looks like a problem with the --global flag only

% sudo eselect bashcomp enable --global eselect
!!! Error: /usr/share/bash-completion/eselect doesn't exist

% ls -l /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/eselect
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1536 Nov 26 16:59 /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/eselect

Well, that is a problem with sudo not passing the env var, ES_BASHCOMP_DIRS

Just to make sure, what does "eselect bashcomp version" output?

Probably better if all issues related to the new bash-completion (and transition to it) are in one hand, so I've passed maintainership of app-admin/eselect-bashcomp to mgorny.

% eselect bashcomp version
bashcomp.eselect 1.3.6
eselect 1.4.3

Comment 5 Tanktalus 2016-11-10 20:20:15 UTC

So somewhere along the lines bash-completion got "!app-eselect/eselect-bashcomp" in its RDEPEND.  However, that means that there no longer is any /etc/bash/bashrc.d/bashcomp.sh installed.  That means that app-eselect/eselect-bashcomp needs to be installing it, or something similar to it, to get bash completion working again.

app-shells/bash-completion (/etc/bash/bashrc.d/bash_completion.sh)

All current versions of bash-completion block split eselect-bashcomp, and it's masked for removal now.
