Package: bash-completion Version: 1:2.1-4.3 Severity: normal Tags: patch The man page says:
It can be a proper completion snippet, and in that case it would be installed in the completion directory, and no other actions would be performed. Bug #824385 in initramfs-tools occurred because I failed to update the list and dh_bash-completion then quietly fell back to treating it as a completion snippet. I believe a completion snippet must include a 'complete' command, so please consider applying this patch to add minimal validation of the possible snippet. --- bash-completion-2.1/debian/extra/debhelper/dh_bash-completion +++ bash-completion-2.1/debian/extra/debhelper/dh_bash-completion @@ -55,7 +55,8 @@ # try parsing a list of files @install = filedoublearray($completions); - foreach my $set (@install) { + for my $i (0..$#install) { + my $set = $install[$i]; my @filelist; my @tmp = @$set; if (@$set > 1) { @@ -77,9 +78,19 @@ } if (!@found || !-e $found[0]) { - warning "file-list parsing failed, installing as proper snippet"; - - doit("install", "-p", "-m644", $completions, "$bc_dir/$package"); + # If we failed on the first line, and at + # least one of the lines begins with the + # word 'complete', assume it's a proper + # snippet rather than a list.
