Libguestfs - Dec 2018 - Re: [nbdkit PATCH] build: Allow 'make install' into non-root --prefix: bash-completion

I don't really know enough on this topic to comment on the patch,
except for a general comment that this sounds like it could be a bug
in either pkg-config or bash-completion.

What a shame that neither pkg-config nor bash-completion seem to have a 
mailing list for bug reports (both projects document that you have to 
submit github issues).  [https://fire.fundersclub.com/ claims that you 
can set up @fire-bot as a collaborator to any repository to enable a 
mail-based bug reporting gateway - but that seems like something that 
github should provide out of the box instead of needing projects to 
install an add-on]

Well, maybe I'll figure out how to open issues on both of those projects 
to see if anyone has better ideas.

plus my general distaste in neither project having an email gateway that 
I could have just cc'd into this thread:
