[Peter Cordes <peter@xxxxxxxxx>]

attaching a patch.  I think I tested everything I changed.  I replaced
the loop over ls output with grep -l | sed.

I made a bunch of overall changes and improvements to the script, too.

When completing an empty word, instead of returning the full list of all
available packages, all PIDs, and all files in the current directory,
list just symptoms and made-up stand-in describing what arguments it
accepts

Completion doesn't list short options, just the long-option version.  If
you don't know what option you want, a letter doesn't tell you anything.

$ apport-bug [TAB]
audio                    dist-upgrade             storage
#buggy-file#             --help                   --tag
#buggy-package#          release-upgrade          ubuntu-release-upgrader
#buggy-process-id#       --save                   --version
display                  security                 --window

 File and directory completion via _filedir, compopt -o dirnames
fallback, or complete -f -d, never via complete -G "$cur*" or anything
similarly horrible that will break with spaces in filenames.

 Also tidied up the functions.  I think the point of some code
duplication was to special-case completing the bare command, and only
list --help and --version if we were completing the first argument.
(which was kind of moot when completion output also included something
like 40k package names...)  Could still do that by checking $cword.


** Patch added: "several fixes: don't break with aliased ls, major speed improvements, keep results small when completing an empty word, and handle spaces"

Title:
  completion with ubuntu-bug complains about missing release-upgrade.py

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  To reproduce the problem, type this command at a shell prompt (DO NOT
  PRESS ENTER AFTERWARD):

  $ ubuntu-bug

  and with the cursor at the end of the line, press the TAB key. The
  following errors appear:

  egrep: /usr/share/apport/symptoms/dist-upgrade.py@: No such file or directory
  egrep: /usr/share/apport/symptoms/release-upgrade.py@: No such file or directory

  If you clear the completion rules with "complete -r", this problem
  goes away.
