I had similar problems, for example the completion of vcsh didn't work for me. These problems were caused by a faulty $FPATH. It contained the path "/usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions" (with "local"), so the functions in "/usr/share/zsh/site-functions" (without "local") were not found. Adding "/usr/share/zsh/site-functions" to $FPATH solved the problem. This does not explain all the effects that I have seen: On Bookworm completion is working in spite of the fact that $FPATH is faulty as well. Nor does it explain some of the effects described here. I do not know whether this is the same problem, but this information might help – and $FPATH should be fixed. Joerg Ebertz
