Okay, so I spun up a VM for Lubuntu 12.04, and dropped it into tty mode. After installing etckeeper (sudo apt-get install etckeeper) after updating the packages, I can confirm this issue happens on Precise.
I can also reproduce this with Quantal. But there's specific information here that I think needs to be added: the bash completion of just etcke[TAB] *correctly* tabcompletes as 'etckeeper'. This is in both user-space terminal logins as well as root logins, confirmed in both 12.04 and 12.10. I don't have a spare Raring VM to test with, so I'm going to spin one up and see if I can confirm it there. Adding 'quantal' tag, and marking confirmed in the meantime. ** Changed in: etckeeper (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Tags added: quantal ** Description changed: bash-completion in precise is faulty $ cd /etc $ sudo etckeTAB that completes to $ sudo etckeeper/ when it should complete only to $ sudo etckeeper ------ Notes from comments: + Original report: Release: Ubuntu Precise 12.04 Package Version: etckeeper 0.61ubuntu2 + + Additionally confirmed on (by teward): + Release: Ubuntu Quantal 12.10 + Package Version: etckeeper 0.61ubuntu2 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to etckeeper in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1095180 Title: incorrect bash-completion To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/etckeeper/+bug/1095180/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
