Error "bad substitution" when hitting TAB key

[treimers]

Hi,

I am having problems on my system after installation. I enter

vboxmanage  <TAB>

and get

vboxmanage -bash: : ${COMP_WORDS[0]};COMP_WORDBREAKS=${COMP_WORDBREAKS@Q};        : bad substitution

Do you know what might be wrong?

My environment

$ cat /etc/system-release
CentOS Linux release 7.9.2009 (Core)

$ bash -version
GNU bash, version 4.2.46(2)-release (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu)

It looks like your bash version is too old. I wrote this script in bash version 5.1 on Ubuntu 22.04. You seem to need to install the latest version of bash. 2023년 5월 9일 (화) 오후 9:50, Thorsten Reimers ***@***.***>님이 작성:
