Tab completion portage problem

[redbyte]

Hi, bash-completion works perfectly. But i have some problems with emerge.

Example:
# emerge foo[TAB]bash: cd: ": Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
bash: cd: ": Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden

It only works when i hit tab 2 or 3 times...

It really works on other tings...
bash-completion-20050121-r7 is installed.

bash.rc:
[ -f /etc/profile.d/bash-completion ] && source /etc/profile.d/bash-completion

Any ideas?

MAke sure that root's /etc/passwd entry is exactly

Okay, so that's not it.
Does it work if you cd into some random directory first, not in the directory where you get the error? Such as in /usr instead of in root's home? I'm thinking along the lines of there being a weird file name in that directory, for example a file named ", and that confuses bash-completion.

Did you let etc-update or dispatch-conf overwrite /etc/bash-completion? If not, do that and re-source /etc/profile.
If that still doesn't work, just downgrade it and mask out all non-working versions.

I've got same problem - just after emerging new bash-completion it just stopped working.
I've got installed:
[I--] [ ] app-shells/bash-completion-20050121-r9 (0)
[I--] [ ] app-shells/gentoo-bashcomp-20050516 (0)

and gentoo specific completing - it works - but it does mess with following text:

I'm having the exact same problems on several different gentoo machines. All give me errors when hitting <TAB> to complete package names; all but one work after hitting <TAB> several times; one never works.

Here's what happens when I try to complete the "real" package name:

@redbyte and @reavertm: can you post /etc/make.conf?

The solution of your problem is to join the PORTDIR_OVERLAY lines as

pretty good work :)
