Maybe you had the bad luck to install an awesomely dodgy ebuild. Here's what |
| 31 |
it should be: |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
# ls -al /etc/bash_completion.d/java |
| 34 |
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 Oct 27 03:08 /etc/bash_completion.d/java -> |
| 35 |
/usr/share/bash-completion/java |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
You can either just fix the symlink, or remerge bash-completion. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
I'd also check /etc/bash_completion.d/ for any more dodgy symlinks |
