676,bash-completion gets confused by alias for rm,benmachine,,"I have an alias for rm defined so that it is by default verbose (alias rm='rm -v' in my bashrc). When I do

cabal install has<tab>

I get something like:

[ben@euler ~]$ cabal install hasbash: bad substitution: no closing ""`"" in `/tmp/cabal_completion.tD2o8O'

It turns out that rm is helpfully going:

removed `/tmp/cabal_completion.hb1zbc'

and then cabal is trying to use this as part of the completion command - choking on the ` because bash thinks it is part of a substitution.

So rm should probably explicitly discard its stdout.

While I was there I noticed that ""cat"" is used redundantly. There's nothing really wrong with this so that part of the patch can be cut I suppose, but I thought it was neater to use bash's input redirection explicitly.",defect,closed,normal,,cabal-install tool,HEAD,minor,fixed,,,unknown,6.12.1,Linux
