Version 1.99-1 and 1.90-1 of bash-completion are broken.
These two versions remove the conf-files in /etc/bash_completion.d without containing any files to populate the folder!

Do not upgrade bash-completion to 1.99-1!!!

It was not working for me, but i will retry! And let you know.

Is there some new mechanics to get the full convenience of bash-completion back? This is from the changelog, which i do not fully understand

bash-completion (1:1.99-1) unstable; urgency=low

 * Uploading to unstable
 * New upstream pre-2.x snapshot
   - correctly list purgeable packages for dpkg --listfiles and dpkg
     --purge (Closes: #647684)
   - fix bash_completion paths in README (Closes: #647941)
   - _known_hosts_real: Handle more than two hostnames per known hosts
     line (Closes: #647352)
   - _known_hosts_real: Support > 1 files per *KnownHostsFile line
     (Closes: #650514)

-- David Paleino <dapal>  Sun, 08 Jan 2012 00:29:16 +0100

bash-completion (1:1.90-1) experimental; urgency=low

 * bash-completion 2 preview: dynamic loading of completions
   - optionally fallback to generic file completion if _filedir
     returns nothing (Closes: #619014, LP: #533985)
   - various fixes (Closes: #622383)
   - apt: add 'download' to subcommands (Closes: #625234, LP: #720541)

The files formerly located in /etc/bash_completion.d are in /usr/share/bash-completion now.

[DeepDayze]

so these files merely been moved to a new location..thanks for the headsup devil. I saw that bash-completion still worked thoug for what I used it for.

How to get bash-completion back then?

There is a thread in the german part where agaida offers a solution:

http://forum.siduction.org/index.php?msg=15309#15309

He transferred/symlinked the completions in /usr/share/bash-completion/completions to /etc/bash_completion.d file for file.

He used this script to do this job:

Code Select Expand

for i in $(ls /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/*)
do
ln -s $i
done
This script is to build in /etc/bash_completions.d, make it executeable and let it run.

The maintainer answered to a bug-report:

Ok, I'll use a symlink. I totally forgot to drop /etc/bash_completion. Sorry
for the noise.

Bash maintainers: the new bash-completion location is
at /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion . Please update the files of your
package (bash.bashrc, but there may be others) to reflect the new location. TIA!

Basically two approaches work right now:
1.Symlinking
2.Changing the location in .bashrc
Lets wait how that works out...

So would it be a good workaround to edit the location in .bashrc or creating /etc/bash_completion to the new location?

[michaaa62]

Either way work right now, but there seems to be no further indication how things might evolve. Better keep in mind what you changed to be ready in case bash-completion changes again.

With D-U today bash-completion 1.99-2 gets installed.
This symlinks /etc/bash_completion to -> /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion

[vilde]

As I understand this issue is now gone and this could be marked "solved" or?

[michaaa62]

This is the way to get the problem solved if you just upgrade bash-completion. The upgrade alone is not enough to make it fully working.

But you could as well change the bash-completion reference in .bashrc for $USERs and root on your systems.
Anyway, lets mark it solved.

In the changelog of the new version, the maintainer says:

Make /etc/bash_completion a symlink to the new location, waiting
   for bash to update its scripts (Closes: #648319)

So, bash scripts need to be updated as well.
