The bash-completion file in /etc/profile.d/ has no .sh file extension as required by /etc/profile. The result is that it doesn't get loaded. ====================== max@localhost:~$ tail -n 6 /etc/profile for sh in /etc/profile.d/*.sh ; do if [ -r "$sh" ] ; then . "$sh" fi done unset sh ====================== ====================== max@localhost:~$ ls /etc/profile.d/ bash-completion gvfs-bash-completion.sh java-config-2.csh java-config-2.sh ====================== If i rename the file, it gets loaded but the next problem is this: ====================== if [ "$PS1" ]; then if [ $bmajor -eq 2 -a $bminor '>' 04 ] || [ $bmajor -ge 3 ]; then [ -f /etc/bash_completion ] && . /etc/bash_completion if [ -d ~/.bash_completion.d ] ; then for file in ~/.bash_completion.d/* ; do [ -f $file ] && . $file done fi fi fi unset bash bmajor bminor ====================== It does not load the files in /usr/share/bash-completion. I need to create a soft link to ~/.bash_completion.d/ or create a folder with this name and copy the files from /usr/share/bash-completion/ to this directory. So there should be a solution that the bash-completion.sh file in /etc/profile.d loads the files from /usr/share/bash-completion, too. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Actual Results: bash-completion files are not loaded Expected Results: bash-completion files should get loaded rename
The problem of the Summary seems valid. [However, you appear not to be familiar with app-shells/bash-completion-config or you would know that you can use that instead of "manually" symlinking / copying files to ~/.bash_completion.d.]
Fixed in app-shells/bash-completion-20060301-r3 which is now unmasked.
