Hello, I found version 2013.10.01-1 in unstable, it still has the same ill symptoms: the function name contains dash character, and it is going to break things. Dash character in variable names is not a good idea, please remove it, or replace it with underscore. Here is the test: $ sh /etc/bash_completion.d/youtube-dl.bash-completion /etc/bash_completion.d/youtube-dl.bash-completion: line 16: `__youtube-dl': not a valid identifier but: $ bash /etc/bash_completion.d/youtube-dl.bash-completion (fine) whereas: $ ls -l `which sh` lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Feb 21 2013 /bin/sh -> bash so it seems that "sh" is using some stricter rules than regular bash and this is what happens during login. -- Marius
