Details

Setting PKGEXT=".pkg.tar" in a PKGBUILD produces a package ending in '.pkg.tar'. Pacman's bash completion for the -U --upgrade operation will complete a package ending in '.pkg.tar.gz' or '.pkg.tar.xz', but not '.pkg.tar'.

This behaviour seems to be defined in line 101 of /etc/bash_completion.d/pacman:

" compopt -o filenames; _filedir 'pkg.tar.*'"
This task depends upon

Patches welcome to fix this, should be an easy fix (zsh might have the same problem as well).

Patches look fine to me (although not tested here...). Pulled to my git repo.
