bash-completion package missing from Fedora template

[jamke]

How to file a helpful issue

Qubes OS release

R4.0, R4.1, R4.2 (probably)

Brief summary

The latest fedora-38 template is still missing bash-completion package. Debian-11 still has it, Fedora does not.
sudo dnf install ox<TAB> produces nothing in any terminal on fedora-38 template unlike real Fedora-38 where is works.

Bash completion is present not only in Fedora for ages and is present in ALL GNU/Linux distros.
Debian and debian-based Qubes OS templates have bash-completion installed, too.
The problem exists in Qubes OS for so long that it is starting to be ridiculous.

Steps to reproduce

Open terminal inside fedora-38 template.
Try to install something with shell completion:
sudo dnf install <TAB><TAB>

Expected behavior

The list of packages is provided, completion works as in the original Fedora-38.

Actual behavior

Nothing happens or the file of local files provided. Completion is broken.

Solution:

Add bash-completion package to the fedora templates as it presents in the original Fedora for ages.

P.S. dom0 also reserves to have a working completion, also has no package installed.

Affects R4.2?

affects R4.2?

[jamke]

I have this problem on R4.3.4.

To check: open terminal in sys-firewall, type dnf and press tab twice. Nothing happens, but should.

@andrewdavidwong sorry for typo, I meant R4.2.4, not R4.3.4.

Ok. the decision for this is simple and fast forward. Either we add it or not. Either to qubes-core-agent (my preference) or maybe to qubes-vm-recommended. Only one line

@marmarek add it or close the ticket?

[unman]

At one time #7879 covered Fedora templates as well as dom0, so strictly this is duplicate of that.

The above is correct. I believe this issue could be closed in favour of the issue Unman linked since that one has better technical details and discussions.

The title of the latter issue could be corrected to "bash completion package missing in dom0 and Fedora templates"

[unman]

I think at one time it had that title

This issue has been closed as a "duplicate." This means that another issue exists that is very similar to or subsumes this one. If any useful information on this issue is not already present on the other issue, please add it in a comment on the other issue. Here are some common cases of duplicate issues:

• The other issue is closed. The other issue being closed does not prevent this issue from duplicating it. We will examine the closed issue and, if appropriate, reopen it.
• The other issue is for a different Qubes release. We usually maintain only one issue for all affected Qubes releases.
• The other issue is very old. The mere age of an issue is not, by itself, a relevant factor when determining duplicates.

By default, the newer issue will be closed in favor of the older issue. However, we make exceptions when we determine that it would be significantly more useful to keep the newer issue open instead of the older one.

We respect the time and effort you have taken to file this issue, and we understand that this outcome may be unsatisfying. Please accept our sincere apologies and know that we greatly value your participation and membership in the Qubes community.
