Description of problem: ======================= The bash-completion of dnf does not always work properly. I will give a few examples here: - "dnf list pe<TAB>" is not auto-completed while "dnf list available pe<TAB>" works as expected. - "dnf -y ..." is never completed whatever follows - "dnf install abc<TAB>" is autocompleted but the completion also shows packages that are already installed, while "dnf remove abc<TAB>" appears to work correctly. That is, it proposes only packages that are installed. - When new repos are added (eg. a copr has just been enabled) the bash-completion is not aware about their presence until dnf somehow populates the cache. For which incidentally a simple "dnf makecache" is not sufficient and a "--refresh" needs to be specified. Version-Release number of selected component: ============================================= dnf-1.1.2-4.fc22.noarch How reproducible: ================= Consistently, with the provided examples.
Thanks for the report. Could that be improved, Igor? Otherwise it could be fixed by argcomplete integration.
This appears to be duplicate of bz#1227980

Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 2 (two) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 24. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '24'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 24 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.

Bugs still present in FC27 dnf-2.7.5-1.fc27.noarch
Can confirm that the mentioned bugs aren't present for me and 2 other systems on FC27 dnf-0:2.7.5-2.fc27.noarch after I install sqlite. Maybe adding sqlite as a dep for dnf would be okay?
Commenting on behalf on another non-English speaker: After system installed, sqlite is not installed, so dnf install and dnf remove auto completion don't work. I confirmed sqlite is not a dependency of dnf. So I suggest maybe packager should add sqlite to dnf as dependency? Thanks.
This problem with auto completion still happens on Fedora 28. Bumbing release to 28.
I think all the described problems were fixed with this PR: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf/pull/894/commits
The issue is solved by dnf-3.0.1-1 that was released into rawhide.
Any plans to port it into f28?
Yes, but we it requires FESCO approve (https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/1883).
