[PROBLEM] _normal:23: command not found: _set_command

[PROBLEM] _normal:23: command not found: _set_command

[Isaac Claymore]

Hi folks,

Right after I updated my zsh to 4.1.1-1 (from Debian), tab completion
for command arguments stopps working, with error messages like this:

_normal:23: command not found: _set_command
_normal:25: command not found: _dispatch

I guess it may be a packaging problem, but failed to google out anything
useful.

Any hint folks?

Thanks in advance~~

Delete ~/.zcompdump

A lot of people have been hitting this.

It's possible to avoid this problem.  Change the compinit line wherever
it occurs in your start-up files to:

compinit -u -d ~/.zcompdump_$ZSH_VERSION

compinstall (if you use that to generate or tweak your settings) is
smart enough to keep this line.

The remaining problem is removing ancient versions of .zcompdump.

I should have pointed out: you don't need the `-u' for this purpose,
I just copied the line from my file.  If you have possible security
problems, you should remove it.
