Description Jim Henderson 2023-09-28 16:30:16 UTC 
When entering 'ln -s' and hitting tab to get a list of directories, I'm prompted for a <link_name> instead of getting completion from the filesystem. A comparison with the upstream project shows that their pattern in /etc/profile.d/complete.tcsh works, whereas what we have doesn't.

I originally reported this issue upstream as I missed the differences between upstream's version of the file and ours.  Using their file didn't work as-is (not sure why), but replacing our entry for 'ln' with theirs did.

The upstream reported bug confirmed that it's an issue in our setup.  That bug is at https://github.com/tcsh-org/tcsh/issues/80

This has been a longstanding issue, and I know it also exists in Leap (all versions, including 15.6 alpha).
