Hi, there seems to be a bug in compdef that prevents more than three commands from using the same completion service. The problem can be illustrated by the following commands: $ compdef foo=mount $ compdef bar=mount $ compdef baz=mount compdef: unknown command or service: mount The cause of this error is an invalid use of the 'R' array subscript flag. The following patch fixes the issue. Best regards Frank Benkstein. diff -ur zsh-4.3.4/Completion/compinit zsh-4.3.4.fixed/Completion/compinit --- zsh-4.3.4/Completion/compinit 2006-11-01 13:25:22.000000000 +0100 +++ zsh-4.3.4.fixed/Completion/compinit 2007-11-01 11:22:16.739402608 +0100 @@ -271,7 +271,7 @@ if [[ "$1" = *\=* ]]; then cmd="${1%%\=*}" svc="${1#*\=}" - func="$_comps[${_services[(R)$svc]:-$svc}]" + func="$_comps[${_services[(r)$svc]:-$svc}]" [[ -n ${_services[$svc]} ]] && svc=${_services[$svc]} [[ -z "$func" ]] && -- GPG (Mail): 7093 7A43 CC40 463A 5564 599B 88F6 D625 BE63 866F GPG (XMPP): 2243 DBBA F234 7C5A 6D71 3983 9F28 4D03 7110 6D51
