[Bug 809043] Re: Upstart bash completion does not work on ubuntu server

[Dmitrijs Ledkovs]

but bash_completion is optional functionality that is not guaranteed to
work, e.g. upstart doesn't declare dependency on bash either.

Returning nothing in completion would be also confusing (nothing
available to restart) and failing loud at runtime (by printing errors)
is acceptable to let user know that something is wrong.

upstart package is not going to get dependency on "dbus" package.  And
bash-completion is Suggests already.

** Changed in: upstart (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Won't Fix

Title:
  Upstart bash completion does not work on ubuntu server

Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Natty server does not install the dbus daemon, but upstart's bash
  completion script (/etc/bash_completion.d/upstart) depends on it to be
  running. Therefore, typing:

  $ sudo restart <tab>

  will output the following error message:
  initctl: Unable to connect to system bus: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory
