I got an error for missing "/dev/fd/62" file descriptor. As far as I could get it from playing with 2.22.0 and 2.23.0 versions the latter does not deploy the /dev/ derectory with the /dev/fd symlink and some other in it.

Also if I take the /dev directory from 2.22.0 installation it seems to fix the issue.

Seems like a duplicate of #2291

Definitely, thanks! I'm closing this one.

I hope this leads to a 2.24 install where this is fixed. This is really a important one it breaks sourcing bash completion scripts for kubectl and all others that exist

@marcelser the best way to ensure that is by testing the latest snapshot from here: https://wingit.blob.core.windows.net/files/index.html
