That is the problem, indeed. Here are the steps to reproduce it: 1. Install ifupdown2 version (ifupdown2_1.0~git20170314-1_all.deb) # dpkg -i ifupdown2_1.0~git20170314-1_all.deb 2. Check that it installs files under /usr/share/bash-completion # dpkg --search /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/ifup diversion by ifupdown2 from: /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/ifup diversion by ifupdown2 to: /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/ifup.disabled ifupdown2, bash-completion: /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/ifup 3. See that ifup is actually there: # ls /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/ifup /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/ifup 4. Upgrade ifupdown2: # aptitude upgrade ifupdown2 5. Repeat steps 2 and 3 (then see that the file is missing): # dpkg --search /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/ifup diversion by ifupdown2 from: /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/ifup diversion by ifupdown2 to: /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/ifup.disabled bash-completion: /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/ifup # ls /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/ifup ls: cannot access '/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/ifup': No such file or directory This probably means that this is a problem with ifupdown2, rather than with bash-completion, and, to the best of my knowledge, there's nothing that bash-completion can do to fix this. Maybe we should reassign this bug against ifupdown2. Shirish, On the other hand, I found a way to workaround the bug for you. You have to purge the older version of ifupdown2 (2_1.0~git20170314-1), before installing the newest. I did all the steps below, and it fixed the problem for me. # aptitude purge ifupdown2 # dpkg -i ifupdown2_1.0~git20170314-1_all.deb # aptitude purge ifupdown2 # aptitude install ifupdown2 # aptitude reinstall bash-completion # ls /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/ifup /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/ifup # adequate bash-completion bash-completion: py-file-not-bytecompiled /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/btdownloadheadless.py bash-completion: py-file-not-bytecompiled /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/asciidoc.py bash-completion: py-file-not-bytecompiled /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/btdownloadcurses.py bash-completion: py-file-not-bytecompiled /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/btdownloadgui.py It still complains about the non-compiled files, but this is a different problem.
