​Hi Michael,

In the debug output, there is the following sequence (shortened):

​Thanks, at least its some start! I do not know Perl and know little elisp
but will surely try to triage the problem as much as I can.​
​

So we need to debug that shell function, which is mainly the call of a

​I performed the actions as you mentioned. Following are the results:

1. After ​"M-x tramp-cleanup-all-connections" , C-x C-f , enter path as
"/scpc:myserver_name_changed.com:/home/" and pres TAB. It asks for
passphrase and opens the connection, which succeeds. But it gives the error:

"ssh: Could not resolve hostname scpc: Name or service not known"

2. Do C-x C-f again, enter path: "/scpc:myserver_name_changed.com:/home/"
and press TAB. It will wait for the command to complete and will show "[No
match]" next to path in mini-buffer.​

I would also like to see the *whole* debug buffer of that test. If you
