Tab completion for remote files/directories with 'scp' used to work with Mageia 7 but no longer with Mageia 8. Example: scp user@host:/tm<TAB> should complete to scp user@host:/tmp/ if password-less login to user@host is allowed. Responsible file is /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/ssh Replacing that with either the version from Mageia 7 (as a work-around) or the current version from upstream at https://github.com/scop/bash-completion/commits/master/completions/ssh as the proper solution fixes the problem.
Actual location of upstream file: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/scop/bash-completion/master/completions/ssh but I think the previous link shows its history.
Thank you for the precise report, and the very helpful links. 'bash-completion' has no consistent maintainer, so assigning this bug globally.
