Package: bash
Version: 4.4-5
Severity: minor
Dear Maintainer,
When, at the bash prompt, I type something like:
g c c <space> ` / u <tab> b <tab> p k g - c <tab>
I expect this to be completed as:
$ gcc `/usr/bin/pkg-config
(this is a somewhat silly example, but should give you the idea...)
However, every time I press Tab in this example, it displays a warning
message such as:
bash: bad substitution: no closing "`" in `/usr
which is extremely annoying, because this message appears in the
middle of the text I'm trying to type. So my screen looks like this:
$ gcc `/ubash: bad substitution: no closing "`" in `/usr
sr/bbash: bad substitution: no closing "`" in `/usr/bin
in/pkg-cbash: bad substitution: no closing "`" in `/usr/bin/pkg-config
onfig
This problem has been around for a while, but not forever (just tested
bash 4.2.37 from wheezy and it doesn't have this issue.)
It appears to be independent of whether the bash-completion package is
installed. I usually disable completion entirely ('complete -r' in my
.bashrc), and that seems to make no difference.
