Package: bash Version: 3.1dfsg-9 Severity: normal
Command line completion (in /etc/bash_completion) for the lvm2 suite of tools does not work very well and it would be better to remove it altogether. Examples of broken behaviour: # lvextend --size <tab> This only allows completion on the words in the list "g G k K m M t T". However a number must also be entered before the the units and then the units cannot be completed. This is of such marginal utility that is should be removed (IMHO). # lvextend --size +40G <tab> The completes on the physical volumes, not the logical volumes as it should. This is because it counts "+40G" as the logical volume (the first non-option argument) and assumes that a physical volume path is now needed. I think there are a number of other situations when the completion fails. I always seem to have to type a path to the logical volume without tab completion available. It would be better if it did not try any specific completion at all. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24.3-orthanc-2 (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages bash depends on: ii base-files 4.0.3 Debian base system miscellaneous f ii debianutils 2.28.4 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii libc6 2.7-9 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libncurses5 5.6+20080203-1 Shared libraries for terminal hand Versions of packages bash recommends: pn bash-completion <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
