Accepted bash into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bash/4.2-2ubuntu2.1 in

If anyone still has a reproducer environment setup with a patch bash
version on precise and can easily reproduce please feel free to do so
and alter the description above. In the meantime, Ill get a reproducer
setup and update the description once my test is done.

Bash-4.2 tries to leave completed directory names as the user typed them,
without expanding them to a full pathname. One effect of this is that

This bug was fixed in 4.2-3 upload, and hence is fixed in quantal and
raring.
However, there is a new option that one needs to set - direxpand.
direxpand
If set, bash replaces directory names with the results of word expansion when
performing filename completion. This
changes the contents
I do not believe the fix is a valid SRU candidate, because it changes
quoting behaviour, introduces a new option and requires a user to opt-in
/ change that option.

The proposed patch is ok, sans missing this bug reference and not using correct

* Explanation see above.
* This is really a bug, ie the behaviour expected by the user changes
unexpectedly.
* In addition, only the interactive command line is affected, bash scripts

I need more details from Quantal users then. Quantals' bash has
bash42-029.diff, which fixes the bug in bash that caused a (and I
presume this) problem. It could be Quantal has another bug?
I just downloaded bash_4.2-5ubuntu1_amd64.deb and could not reproduce.
What version of bash are you using?
$ bash --version
GNU bash, version 4.2.37(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)
$ wajig list bash
ii bash 4.2-5ubuntu1
amd64GNU Bourne Again SHell
ii bash-completion 1:2.0-1ubuntu2
Ok:
This bug does not affect Q or R (I checked.)
I make an internal package (for myself), and it resolves the problem.
I've attached a debdiff which creates bash-4.2-2ubuntu2-gg1; it should be
trivial to modify it to produce bash4.2-2ubuntu3.

Nominated for Precise. As Comment 21 says Quantal and Raring are
unaffected, i'm not nominating them.
Given that this bug was initially filed against Natty, can someone test
this on Oneiric to see if it is also affected?

I am also suffering this problem in Ubuntu 12.10.

It's driving me crazy. A long-established very helpful bash feature
has been trashed.
What's going on?
This is bad.

I upgraded to bash 4.2.36(1), and the problem is only half fixed. On
older versions of bash (certainly in the bash2 vintage), cd
$VARIABLE/tab offered completions. At lest in the newer version it
doesn't escape the dollar sign anymore, but this is still a removed,
highly used feature.

SOLUTION: This was a bug in bash which is fixed in patch bash4.2-029. See
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2012-07/msg00018.html

- downlaod bash-4.2.tar.gz from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/bash/
- extract
- download patches bash42-001 through

Please... Using the tab is much important for the
developers/administrators. We can't remove the backslash every time we
use the tab ! It is a bug that can't be in a supported version ! (12.0.4
LTS). It is the kind of things that makes you hate an environment !
Because we use the tab ALL THE TIME

This bug is really horrible. Anyone know what line in bash_completion I
need to fix? How did it make it into the release??? Also, I sometimes
see completion adding an extra space when completing directory names,
which makes it difficult to traverse through a directory hierarchy with
tab
This bug is really ugly. I often use 'll $HEAD/' tabtab which now
doesn't work anymore. Unfortunately I don't hace a 10.10 system anymore
to compare...
