Package: bash-completion Version: 1:2.8-5 $ set apt-show-versions $ zless /usr/share/doc/$@/ch<TAB> $ zless /usr/share/doc/$@/ch chromium chromium-common chromium-sandbox chromium-shell $ zless /usr/share/doc/\$@/chromium
Huh? OK, now shortening the last string sitting on my terminal, and hitting TAB again $ zless /usr/share/doc/\$@/ch<TAB> it just beeps, proving that adding the \ was nonsense in the first place. Anyway $ echo zless /usr/share/doc/$@/ch* zless /usr/share/doc/apt-show-versions/changelog.gz shows what I was trying to match. I'm not saying you need to deal with $@ (for now yet, maybe in a few years), but at least don't insert \ .
