Is that the response that you get when sourcing the /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion file? Very odd.
Code:
ls -l /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion
...I get:
Code:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 66440 Jul 23 2012 /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion
Did you change your ~/.bashrc file? Within it:
Code:
if ! shopt -oq posix; then
if [ -f /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion ]; then
. /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion
elif [ -f /etc/bash_completion ]; then
. /etc/bash_completion
fi
