Thanks for trying my suggestion. > Just to make sure I didn't do anything silly I purged and installed > bash-completion again but still got the same error as above.

I installed it, too, but it didn't cause these bugs for me (not even after purging then re-installing bash-completion), so I think I'll need your help to investigate this. When you purge bash-completion, does it remove /usr/share/bash-completion entirely? > I did see this however, dunno if these are somehow responsible - > > The last bit is from $ dpkg -L ifupdown2 | tail > > /var/lib/ifupdown2/policy.d > /sbin/ifdown > package diverts others to: /sbin/ifdown.disabled > /sbin/ifquery > package diverts others to: /sbin/ifquery.disabled > /sbin/ifreload > package diverts others to: /sbin/ifreload.disabled > /sbin/ifup > package diverts others to: /sbin/ifup.disabled > /usr/share/ifupdown2/ifupdown2 I don't see anything wrong with this snippet, however, I'm looking into the packaging files for ifupdown2 and I see that it ships (or used to ship) a completion file for ifup. > I am willing to investigate but have no idea about bash-completion > except that it makes my life easier. What is the version of ifupdown2 that you have installed in your machine? Do you know if you updated it recently?
