    Package: bash
    Version: 3.0-5
    Severity: normal

    if you have a directory that is the same name as a system command then the directory will be completed when tab is pressed and not the command.

    For example I have mutella installed and I also have a directory called
    mutella in my home directory.

    Now if I type mutel and then press tab (whilst in my home directory) bash completes it to mutella/ and when return is then pressed bash complains:

    -bash: mutella/: is a directory
