[Bug 1833878] Re: pressing key TAB after ipset gives syntax error in bash interactive session

[LGB [Gábor Lénárt]]

** Description changed:

  After typing ipset (and a space of course) I always get various syntax
  error messages if I press key TAB for completion. Interestingly I get
  different errors on different machines, for example:
  
  18.04 server:
  
  # ipset
  So I typed "ipset" and a space, and when I press TAB, I see this:
  # ipset bash: syntax error near unexpected token `;;'
  
  18.04 xubuntu install:
  
  # ipset
  again, I typed "ipset" and space, and I pressed TAB:
  # ipset bash: syntax error in conditional expression
  
  18.04 ubuntu install:
  
  (the same as before, when I press tab)
  # ipset bash: syntax error in conditional expression
  bash: syntax error near `213_stat'
  
  (213_stat is maybe a file name by the way, since I have a file named
  213_stat in the current working directory)
  
  By the way, this also applies when I'm different context of the command,
  ie:
  
  # ipset save
- "ipset save" and a space, pressing space:
+ "ipset save" and a space, pressing TAB:
  # ipset save bash: syntax error near unexpected token `;;'
  
  It seems, if the current command line is anything to do with ipset, it
  causes errors on trying completion
