Package: dctrl-tools
Version: 2.9.3
Severity: normal
Using bash 3.1dfsg-8, Debian Etch + some packages from Sid.
To reproduce the bug
1) Uninstall dctrl-tools if it is already installed.
2) open a new root shell
3) do
source /etc/bash_completion
4) now if I do
apt-get install dctr<TAB>
it gets expanded to
apt-get install dctrl-tools
5) now install the dctrl-tools package
6) open another root shell
7) source the /etc/bash_completion file again
8) now if I do
apt-get remove kwi<tab><tab>
it gets expanded to
apt-get remove kwigrep-status: /var/lib/dpkg/status:22571: expected a colon.
grep-status: /var/lib/dpkg/status:22571: expected a colon.
which is not what is intended. If dctrl-tools is not installed, the output on my
machine is
apt-get remove kwi
kwifimanager kwin kwin4
which is what is intended. If you need any other information, please feel free
to contact me.
regards
raju

I'm going to close this bug for two reasons:
1. The breakage was caused by dctrl-tools, not being
able to parse you file. So the bug should have been
assigned to that package - not bash in the first place.
2. The failure to parse the file was the result of a bogus
package, which has now been fixed. So it seems that
all is OK now.
