error after upgrading to distinct package: bash: complete: kpdf: no completion specification

[Daniel Pittman]

Binary package hint: bash-completion

After upgrading to the new bash-completion package in hardy I get this error when I start a new shell:

bash: complete: kpdf: no completion specification

This error is new with the external package, and did not occur with the earlier version included in bash.

] cat /etc/lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=8.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=hardy
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu hardy (development branch)"

] dpkg -l bash-completion | cat

Same error here

I forgot to say -> Hardy Alpha - up to date

'kpdf' should be deleted from the end of the line #88 in /etc/bash_completion, since it is now redefined in the line #84.

That means,

complete -f -X '!*.@(pdf|PDF)' acroread gpdf xpdf kpdf

should now be

complete -f -X '!*.@(pdf|PDF)' acroread gpdf xpdf

[Sergey Romanov (sml-uni)]

Well, I have just tested and found that kpdf can't handle compressed formats. So, really you should remove kpdf from the line #84 too, and add this line after it:
complete -f -X '!*.@(?(e)ps|?(E)PS|pdf|PDF)' kpdf
