--- Begin Message ---Package: bash-completion Version: 1:2.1-4 Severity: important bash-completion contains syntax errors in two functions. Executing bash /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion Output: bash: _parse_usage: line 16: syntax error near unexpected token `(' bash: _parse_usage: line 16: ` -?(\[)+([a-zA-Z0-9?]))' bash: error importing function definition for `_parse_usage' bash: _longopt: line 14: syntax error near unexpected token `(' bash: _longopt: line 14: ` --+([-a-z0-9_]))' bash: error importing function definition for `_longopt' This bug is important because it makes various packages fail. The desktop-base package fails because of _parse_usage failing. desktop-base is called by tasksel in a debian installation. Changing roots shell to dash does not help. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.0 APT prefers testing-updates APT policy: (500, 'testing-updates'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages bash-completion depends on: ii bash 4.3-11+b1 ii dpkg 1.17.23 bash-completion recommends no packages. bash-completion suggests no packages. -- no debconf information

The errors look like the result of extglob not being on. Does ksu set POSIXLY_CORRECT in the environment, or something? It looks like that will break interactive shells if you have that on AND choose to load bash_completion in your .bashrc. > If you become root via "sudo -i" or su, and execute "bash > /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion", there will be no errors. Thanks for following up on this when you discovered it wasn't bash-completion's bug. A lot of old bug reports just sit around forever. For future reference, you could have sent your mail to 778282-d...@bugs.debian.org to close it yourself. If you think it's worth getting the kerberos maintainers to look at this, (like if there's a reason for setting POSIXLY_CORRECT?), you could reoppen and reassign it to that package, or submit a new bug. But more likely the bug is in your dotfiles, if they don't check that the shell is dash before loading bash-completion. (That or root's shell is never used, just your own shell run as root, since that's what normal sudo does.) -- #define X(x,y) x##y Peter Cordes ; e-mail: X(peter@cor , des.ca) "The gods confound the man who first found out how to distinguish the hours!
