>Description:
Bash Completion uses GNU extensions that FreeBSD sed does not have.  GNU sed
and BSD sed are very different, and incompatible.  Setting up a runtime
dependency on gsed when installing bash-completion ensures that all completions
are functional, and that Bash Completion behaves consistently between operating
systems.

This problem has already been [1]discussed (no action from maintainer has
happened so far), and the bash-completion [2]Changelog mentions the use of gsed
when found on non-Linux systems.

>How-To-Repeat:
When gsed is not installed, many completions do not work, like killall, screen,
and many more that would be too long to list here.  Installing gsed and
sourcing the bash_completion script again solves the problem.
>Fix:
Apply the following patch:
