Description of problem: In interactive bash command line: tar --selinux -cpf b.tar partial_file_name Hitting tabulator does not complete the file name, bash does not respond anymore. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): bash-completion-2.0-1.fc17.noarch bash-4.2.39-3.fc17.x86_64 How reproducible: For me always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run bash interactive console. 2. Create a file named e.g. "file_name" in current working directory 3. Type tar --selinux -cpf b.tar file_na 4. Hit tabulator key Actual results: Bash does not respond anymore. Expected results: Completed file_name. Additional info: --acls instead of --selinux also causes the problem. Without --selinux (or any other --flag) completion works. Freezed bash responds to Control + c. Escape / instead of tabulator works. top does not show high cpu load.
After uninstalling bash-completion, problem is still reproduceable in running bash instance. Not reproduceable in new bash instances. Reproduceable again after reinstalling bash-completion.
(In reply to Frantisek Kluknavsky from comment #1) > After uninstalling bash-completion, problem is still reproduceable in > running bash instance. Not reproduceable in new bash instances. > Reproduceable again after reinstalling bash-completion. It's because the currently running bash has completions loaded in memory. It is also possible to remove all programmable completions in the current bash by `complete -r'.
This running process is suspicious: tar t b.tar Seems the problem is only in completion script.

Reproduced in Fedora 19, reopening.
I really don't think the file /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/tar helps so much nowadays, it is quite obsoleted. As a sipmple answer to this quiestion would be to not install that file (at least until it is fixed upstream properly).

The same in F20.
Ville, it is some time I proposed [1] patch for tar command completion upstream, and I see that it may take some time to review. Do you think it is worth distributing the tar completion as a part of (downstream) tar package meanwhile? [1] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/bash-completion-devel/2014-November/005730.html

Still waiting for Ville/usptream cooperation.
Pavel's stuff is now in upstream git, continuing followup discussion on upstream ML if required.
