Bug#859245: autojump: Doesn't fill database of directories with bash?

[Rogério Brito]

reassign 859245 libvte-2.91-common
thanks

The problem that I reported in bug 859245 has occured because the
instructions in

    /usr/share/doc/libvte-2.91-0/README.Debian

clobber the contents of what autojump also needs (PROMPT_COMMAND variable),
which, unfortunately, was my case, since I had:

1 - first, set up autojump in my bash_profile
2 - right after autojump, vte set up as per the instructions in the
    README.Debian above

Switching the order of the assignments above is a workaround that make
things work, but clobbering/overwriting configurations/variables of the
users (when they want a cumulative behavior) is definitely wrong.

    To Tanguy (maintainer of autojump): You probably may want to add a note
    in autojump's instructions (possibly notifying upstream, if this isn't
    documented already) to avoid giving users some headaches.


(Another related bug that I just noticed when gathering information for this
report: /usr/share/doc/libvte-2.91-0/README.Debian should be updated to
point to /etc/profile.d/vte-2.91.sh instead of only /etc/profile.d/vte.sh).


Thanks,

Rogério Brito.
