Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

I was told here to use pip as an installation tool in order to get man pages and shell completion along with my youtube-dl installation. While the man page has been successfully added the bash shell completion has not. Even after a restart.

I tried sudo -H pip install --upgrade youtube-dl as well as pip install --user --upgrade youtube-dl

No longer an issue in youtube-dl 2019.02.08, AFAICT. IMO, this bug report can be closed.

I assume it's due to the wrong path and wrong filename in

youtube-dl/setup.py

Line 62 in b995043

('etc/bash_completion.d', ['youtube-dl.bash-completion']),

where it should be /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/youtube-dl

I submitted PR #22355 to update install location. With that change, running pip install --user youtube-dl will install bash completion as ~/.local/share/bash-completion/completions/youtube-dl.
