I have unmerged gentoo-bashcomp, but the problem remains. So, this would put the blame on bash-completion. I am using bash-completion-20060301. Following your message, I have upgraded to latest (unstable) bash-completion-20081218 *and this solved the original problem* : tab-completion now does not escape variables after 'cd' ! BUT (there had to be a 'but') ... gentoo-bashcomp does not play well with this latest version, meaning that after re-installing bashcomp, completion does not work after gentoo commands (emerge, ebuild ...). So, I think I will get back to bash-completion-20060301, and use cdb instead of path variables. Thanks for attention and suggestions. > You might also check bash-completion USE flags. # equery uses app-shells/bash-completion [ Searching for packages matching app-shells/bash-completion... ] [ Colour Code : set unset ] [ Legend : Left column (U) - USE flags from make.conf ] [ : Right column (I) - USE flags packages was installed with ] [ No USE flags found for app-shells/bash-completion-20060301]
