Works for me, but usually I "rpm -e bash-completion" because I don't
find the time to look into all the trouble it causes through the scripts
in /etc/bash_completion.d -- I've filed bugs long ago, but they haven't
been responded to. For example, yum-utils' yum-builddep has been "enhanced"
not to pay attention to the local src.rpm it's given but instead runs some
strange and time-consuming queries on-the-fly that make it a pain to use IMO.

If uninstalling bash-completion package, log out and log back in.
