Package: fd-find Version: 10.5.0-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, Previously reported at https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=936036 - was closed and archived, it had some blockers preventing issue from being resolved, they're probably gone by now, so reporting again. `fd-find` package bundles completions - e.g. `/usr/share/fish/completions/fd.fish`. `fdfind` upstream is typically installed as `fd`, but since this name collides with other Debian package ( https://packages.debian.org/sid/shells/fdclone ), in apt it's installed as `fdfind`. So when someone is trying to do `fdfind <tab>`, the completions don't work out-of-the-box, because only `fd.fish` is provided, not `fdfind.fish`. To make bundled completions work, package is requiring user to symlink `fdfind` as `fd` or add `/usr/lib/cargo/bin` to the PATH to make `/usr/lib/cargo/bin/fd` accessible. To fix this there are two possible solutions: - bundle `fdfind.fish` instead of `fd.fish` - that resolves the issue, but it breaks it for users already relying on `fd.fish`. - but it's sort of a proper solution for this, because having `fd.fish` means we suggest wrong completions for `fd` coming from `fdclone` - `fdfind --gen-completions` generates completions for `fdfind`, not `fd`, so this option is simple in implementation - keep `fd.fish`, bundle additional `fdfind.fish` (it can either redirect completions to `fd.fish` or can just duplicate the same instruction but for `fdfind` name) - note that symlink (`fdfind.fish` -> `fd.fish`) won't work here, because `fd.fish` hardcodes that it works only for `fd` command - e.g. `complete -c fd -l ignore-vcs -d 'Overrides --no-ignore-vcs'` - keeps users relying on `fd.fish` happy Since all existing `fdfind` installations are already affected by this, I'll try to upstream adding a simple `fdfind.fish` (e.g. just `fdfind --gen-completions fish | source`) to `fish-shell` itself, so that will resolve it for older packages, but still this needs to be resolved in Debian package too (also because bash and zsh completions are affected too).

Sorry, iCloud messed up my plain text part in the email, and the
entire message got assigned as the package name.. Fixed now.

Here's the same report again, just readable this time.

Previously reported at https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=936036
- was closed and archived, it had some blockers preventing issue from
being resolved, they're probably gone by now, so reporting again.

`fd-find` package bundles completions - e.g.  `/usr/share/fish/completions/fd.fish`.
`fdfind` upstream is typically installed as `fd`, but since this
name collides with other Debian package (https://packages.debian.org/sid/shells/fdclone),
in apt it's installed as `fdfind`.  So when someone is trying to
do `fdfind <tab>`, the completions don't work out-of-the-box,
because only `fd.fish` is provided, not `fdfind.fish`.  To make
bundled completions work, package is requiring user to symlink
`fdfind` as `fd` or add `/usr/lib/cargo/bin` to the PATH to make
`/usr/lib/cargo/bin/fd` accessible.

To fix this there are two possible solutions: - bundle `fdfind.fish`
instead of `fd.fish` - that resolves the issue, but
  it breaks it for users already relying on `fd.fish`.  - but it's
  sort of a proper solution for this, because having `fd.fish`
    means we suggest wrong completions for `fd` coming from `fdclone`
  - `fdfind --gen-completions` generates completions for `fdfind`, not
    `fd`, so this option is simple in implementation
- keep `fd.fish`, bundle additional `fdfind.fish` (it can either
redirect
  completions to `fd.fish` or can just duplicate the same instruction
  but for `fdfind` name) - note that symlink (`fdfind.fish` ->
  `fd.fish`) won't work here,
    because `fd.fish` hardcodes that it works only for `fd` command
    - e.g. `complete -c fd -l ignore-vcs -d 'Overrides --no-ignore-vcs'`
  - keeps users relying on `fd.fish` happy

Since all existing `fdfind` installations are already affected by
this, I'll try to upstream adding a simple `fdfind.fish` (e.g. just
`fdfind --gen-completions fish | source`) to `fish-shell` itself,
so that will resolve it for older packages, but still this needs
to be resolved in Debian package too (also because bash and zsh
completions are affected too).
