[SOLVED] Possible bug with bash-completion

Hello, I think I ran into a bug with bash-completion. I posted an issue upstream and just wanted to make sure it wasn't an Arch-specific issue.

The issue comes up when I type out a command, a space, and then push tab, I get the following message (using 'man' as an example):

man bash: _comp_initialize: command not found

This happens with some commands, not all. These are some of the ones it happens with:

• man

• python

• sh

• gcc

• make

• aur

• ssh

It doesn't happen with pip or mpv though. I ran

grep _comp_initialize /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/<a command>

and noticed only the commands which gave the error message called the '_comp_initialize' function.

If this an issue for the upstream repository or not, please let me know so I can close this thread or the upstream issue.

Re: [SOLVED] Possible bug with bash-completion

I just had to reload the shell after updating with 'pacman -Syu'. It works now.
