Bug Description
Running 12.04 at the moment, but latest version appears to be affected as well.
The issue is that the ssh call to get the directory listings for completion for scp use the bash "command" builtin and busybox does not have this available and therefore fails.
Removing the "command" allows busybox ls to be called and everything works as expected (see attached patch).
The patch also replaces the $nospace variable in the call to complete with -o nospace, but this does seem to have been fixed in the latest version.
