bash-completion vs. journalctl > file

[jidanni]

bash-completion/completions/journalctl is not happy about me wanting to do

# journalctl > file

Version: 241-1
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=924541
Even if I do

# journalctl >> /tm<TAB>

it won't even help me complete /tmp.

This is an issue again in v242.

Counter example:

[root@brick ~]# journalctl -D 
.cache/         etc/            [...]       .spamassassin/  uploadwatchgit/ 
[root@brick ~]# journalctl -D

@stueja -f does not take an option. -D does. Hence the difference.

Test blindness, sorry.
