[Bug 1172420] Re: [SRU] python-novaclient installs broken symlink /etc/bash_completion.d

[Adam Gandelman]

** Summary changed:

- python-novaclient installs broken symlink /etc/bash_completion.d 
+ [SRU] python-novaclient installs broken symlink /etc/bash_completion.d

** Description changed:

  python-novaclient's bash completion does not work, the package installs
  a broken sym link in /etc/bash_completion.d:
  
- ubuntu at raring-04-24-1156:~$ ls -lh /etc/bash_completion.d/nova.bash_completion 
+ ubuntu at raring-04-24-1156:~$ ls -lh /etc/bash_completion.d/nova.bash_completion
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 53 Apr  5 17:39 /etc/bash_completion.d/nova.bash_completion -> /usr/share/doc/python-novaclient/nova.bash_completion
  ubuntu at raring-04-24-1156:~$ ls /usr/share/doc/python-novaclient/nova.bash_completion
  ls: cannot access /usr/share/doc/python-novaclient/nova.bash_completion: No such file or directory
+ 
+ --- Ubuntu SRU Justification ---
+ 
+ [Impact]
+ Bash completion is a relatively new feature in novaclient and is expected to work on Ubuntu.  Currently, the package installs a broken symlink @ /etc/bash_completion.d/nova.bash_completion and bash completion does not function.  The package does not actually install the nova.bash_completion file anywhere.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ Install python-novaclient, attempt to use bash completion to complete 'nova' arguments or complete UUIDs of cloud resources (images, instances, etc).
+ 
+ [Regression potential]
+ The fix requires installing either the target of the broken link, or installing the bash completion file directly into /etc/bash_completion.d/.  Either fix poses minimal regression risk.
