[Bug 60079] Re: "shopt" xsession error upon login

[Noah Slater]

I can confirm that this a bug for me too.

My global /etc/bash.bashrc file is sourcing /etc/bash_completion which
in turn exits with a error status of "2" with the following message:

/etc/bash_completion: 44: Syntax error: Bad substitution

You can reproduce by sourcing /etc/bash_completion your self in a test
script such as this:

--------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh

. /etc/bash_completion
--------------------------------------

Because this exits with an error status 2 it causes any session, be it
GNOME or Ion3 (in my case), to crash.
