[Bug 1030025] [NEW] Missing programmable bash completions for host and ping commands

[Haw Loeung]

Public bug reported:

Hi,

It seems that the host and ping programmable completions are no longer
available in quantal?

[hloeung at darkon etc]$ complete | grep known_hosts
complete -F _known_hosts rlogin
complete -F _known_hosts ftp
complete -F _known_hosts tracepath6
complete -F _known_hosts tracepath
complete -F _known_hosts mtr
complete -F _known_hosts traceroute6
complete -F _known_hosts fping
complete -F _known_hosts ssh-installkeys
complete -F _known_hosts rsh
complete -F _known_hosts dig
complete -F _known_hosts telnet
complete -F _known_hosts showmount
complete -F _known_hosts fping6
complete -F _known_hosts traceroute
[hloeung at darkon etc]$ complete | grep known_hosts | wc -l
14

On a precise host, I get:

hloeung at hadar:~$ complete | grep known_hosts
complete -F _known_hosts rlogin
complete -F _known_hosts ftp
complete -F _known_hosts tracepath6
complete -F _known_hosts host
complete -F _known_hosts tracepath
complete -F _known_hosts ping
complete -F _known_hosts mtr
complete -F _known_hosts traceroute6
complete -F _known_hosts fping
complete -F _known_hosts ping6
complete -F _known_hosts ssh-installkeys
complete -F _known_hosts rsh
complete -F _known_hosts dig
complete -F _known_hosts telnet
complete -F _known_hosts showmount
complete -F _known_hosts fping6
complete -F _known_hosts traceroute
hloeung at hadar:~$ complete | grep known_hosts | wc -l
17

I can't seem to recall the last time host and ping used to work but I'm
pretty sure it's only started recently? Any chance someone could take a
look?


Thanks,

Haw
