If you do custom stuff like this, you already know enough to understand |
| 31 |
the consequences of removing the symlinks. You were on your own |
| 32 |
already, so don't expect that we're going to start holding your hand |
| 33 |
now. |

Of course, you could have asked for proper /usr/local support... but |
| 45 |
why? It's easier to hack things around then complain. |

People who installed bash-completion after 27.08 have all completions |
| 52 |
in completionsdir already. For them, the symlinks will still be valid |
| 53 |
yet unnecessary. |
