~$ mkdir -p /tmp/testd/finger/toe
/tmp$ cd /tmp/testd
/tmp/testd$ td=`pwd`
/tmp/testd$ cd ../
/tmp$ ls $td/fing
Type a TAB character at this point, and bash completion makes the line:
/tmp$ ls \$td/finger
Note that while 'fing' has been expanded to 'finger ' (with a space at the end), the $td variable reference has had the
$ character quoted with a backslash. This prevents further extension of the pathname, and in fact makes
the command invalid; if I type a newline at this point, I get:
ls: cannot access $td/finger: No such file or directory
This is not useful behavior. I believe that in Ubuntu 10.10, the $td variable would have been expanded
to '/tmp/testd', and subsequent completions starting from '/tmp/testd/finger' would have worked.
[The version of /etc/bash_completion.d/acroread.sh that is installed starts with:
# _filedir : to handle file and directories with spaces in their names.
if ! type _filedir &> /dev/null ; then
so I don't think that file is overriding /etc/bash_completion's _filedir ...]

[Impact]
Bash-4.2 tries to leave completed directory names as the user typed them,
without expanding them to a full pathname. One effect of this is that
shell variables used in pathnames being completed (e.g., $HOME) are left
unchanged, but the `$' is quoted by readline because it is a special
character to the shell.
[Test Case]
- [Current test case showing expected behavior]
Items to address so far:
- that $ is escaped less
- that direxpand does not expand as expected
- that direxpand option is available and if enabled, expands directories with variable names.
- [Previous Test Case showing non-working bash installation]

Binary package hint: bash
[Impact]
Bash-4.2 tries to leave completed directory names as the user typed them,
without expanding them to a full pathname. One effect of this is that
shell variables used in pathnames being completed (e.g., $HOME) are left
unchanged, but the `$' is quoted by readline because it is a special
character to the shell.
[Test Case]
- [Current test case showing expected behavior]
Items to address so far:
- that $ is escaped less
- that direxpand does not expand as expected
- that direxpand option is available and if enabled, expands directories with variable names.
zef:~/Projects/precise-amd64$ mkdir -p /tmp/testd/finger/toe
zef:~/Projects/precise-amd64$ cd /tmp/testd/
zef:/tmp/testd$ td=`pwd`
zef:/tmp/testd$ cd ../
zef:/tmp$ ls \$td/finger
zef:/tmp$ shopt -s direxpand
zef:/tmp$ ls $td/fing<TAB>
zef:/tmp$ ls /tmp/testd/finger/
toe
- [Previous Test Case showing non-working bash installation]
~$ mkdir -p /tmp/testd/finger/toe
/tmp$ cd /tmp/testd
/tmp/testd$ td=`pwd`
/tmp/testd$ cd ../
/tmp$ ls $td/fing
Type a TAB character at this point, and bash completion makes the line:
/tmp$ ls \$td/finger
Note that while 'fing' has been expanded to 'finger ' (with a space at the end), the $td variable reference has had the
$ character quoted with a backslash. This prevents further extension of the pathname, and in fact makes
the command invalid; if I type a newline at this point, I get:
ls: cannot access $td/finger: No such file or directory
This is not useful behavior. I believe that in Ubuntu 10.10, the $td variable would have been expanded
to '/tmp/testd', and subsequent completions starting from '/tmp/testd/finger' would have worked.
[The version of /etc/bash_completion.d/acroread.sh that is installed starts with:
# _filedir : to handle file and directories with spaces in their names.
if ! type _filedir &> /dev/null ; then
so I don't think that file is overriding /etc/bash_completion's _filedir ...]
[Regression Potential]
- (#32) low potential for regressions since this bug is related to the interactive command line and would not influence any scripts.

NB! NB! NB!
After applying the update to resolve this problem one _also_ must enable direxpand option by issuing:
shopt -s direxpand
If you do not do this, the variable expansion will not happen.
