Description

The following bug was reported by Jan Braun against the Debian bugtracker at  http://bugs.debian.org/597769

Hi, the bash completion script 1) does not check the return value of mktemp and 2) fails in the presence of "set -o noclobber" attached is a patch to fix both.

Great thanks.

If you're a bash coder, would you consider helping us with a patch to simplify the completion script by remove the cabal list feature? Currently it tries to complete package names by calling cabal list. This does not work well and makes the script rather more complicated than it really needs to be.
