Description Gary Ching-Pang Lin 2024-03-22 07:27:33 UTC 
After upgrading bash-completion to 2.12, grub2 bash-completion scripts stopped to work and showed the error: _split_longopt: command not found.

It's because bash-completion 2.12 renamed '_split_longopt' as '_comp__split_longopt', and bash-completion upstream(*) stated that '_split_longopt' is a private API so it should not be used directly. Instead, the script should use '_init_completion -s' or the newer '_comp_initialize -s' to initialize 'cur', 'prev', and 'split'.

The patch was posted upstream and got the "reviewed-by" recently.
