It seems to be a problem with bash-completion which does not pick up unison's completion script as it is in a subdirectory of /etc/bash_completion.d/ . I can't really say whether this is a bug in /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion (which implements the compatibility calls to /etc/bash_completion.d/ ) or whether unison is wrong in installing its scripts into subdirectories.
Furthermore, unison only sets up completion to the very program (i.e. currently unison-2.40.102 ) instead of to whatever the default is. I think this should also be fixed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Debian OCaml Maintainers, which is subscribed to unison in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1243031 Title: Unison command line autocompletion is broken Status in “unison” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Fresh install of KUbuntu 13.10 (it was the same on KUbuntu 13.04), package 2.40.102-2ubuntu1 In a terminal, typing unison then followed by tab is expected to display a list of the available unison profiles ( *.prf files, either located in the current directory or in ~/.unison ). Instead of that unison no specific autocomplete. However a specific directory containing a configuration has been created by the package ( /etc/bash_completion.d/unison/unison.completion.bash ).
