bash-completion @2.0 broken after upgrade

[lars.mai@…]

Hi,

i did some port upgrade outdated lately and my bash completion stopped working afterwards. I investigated briefly and noticed that the script in /opt/local/share gives errors when sourced manually:

lars@mbp-5:~$ . /opt/local/share/bash-completion/bash_completion 
-bash: declare: -A: invalid option
declare: usage: declare [-afFirtx] [-p] [name[=value] ...]
-bash: complete: -D: invalid option
complete: usage: complete [-abcdefgjksuv] [-pr] [-o option] [-A action] [-G globpat] [-W wordlist] [-P prefix] [-S suffix] [-X filterpat] [-F function] [-C command] [name ...]

here's info from port info:

lars@mbp-5:~$ port info bash-completion
bash-completion @2.0, Revision 1 (sysutils)

Description:          Programmable completion library for bash. This port requires bash >=4.1 and is meant to be used together with the bash port.

and my bash version:

lars@mbp-5:~$ bash --version

bash --version

being 4.2 is not sufficient for bash completion to work; it merely says the bash binary first in your $PATH is 4.2, but that isn't necessarily what your terminal emulator starts when opening a new terminal.

Try

echo $BASH_VERSION

to see which version of bash you are currently running (and unless you changed it as described in port notes bash-completion) it probably is /bin/bash, which is version 3.something.
