bash completion broken

bash completion broken

[Björn Kautler]

Hi there,

bash completion completely got broken with bash completion 1.9.
It changed the layout from having the stuff in /etc to having the
stuff in /usr/share/bash-completion

Any existing .bashrc file including the one in /etc/skel do still
reference the old location which is not present anymore and thus does
not work anymore. Maybe at least the skel files should be updated and
possibly for compatibility a symlink in from /etc/bash_completion to
/usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion.

Also the following packages still put files in the old completions location:

git-completion-2.1.0-1
libglib2.0_0-2.38.2-3
subversion-1.7.10-1
vim-common-7.4.417-1

this still works as the new bash-completion packages looks in the old
folder for this, but I guess those packages should still be updated to
match the new scheme.

Regards
Björn

Cygwin's bash-completion is at version 1.3 and puts all of its 
non-documentation files in /etc.  Did you install the version from 
Cygwin Ports by any chance?
