I cannot reproduce, neither in F-23 with upstream bash-completion development head, nor with a clean mock F-24 chroot. And quite frankly, I don't see how unsetting LS_COLORS could actually result in the described problems. Going to need more information in order to be say much more. On the other hand, these errors after "set -u" or "set -o nounset" and as described in bug #1055784 is a known limitation in bash-completion, documented in its README's troubleshooting section. Have you made sure that this is not the actual source of the issue you see?
My bad. I've been troubleshooting #1306804 and did indeed run "set -u" before running "unset" command. Sorry you spent time on this. [bob@rawhide ws]$ history | grep LS_COLORS 132 set -u LS_COLORS 135 unset LS_COLORS 152 unset LS_COLORS 158 unset LS_COLORS 189 env | grep LS_COLORS 190 unset LS_COLORS 198 history | grep LS_COLORS [bob@rawhide litp]$ [bob@rawhide litp]$ set -u LS_COLORS [bob@rawhide litp]$ -bash: words[@]: unbound variable Closing this as duplicate.
