Package: libreadline6
Version: 6.1-3
Severity: normal
libncurses cannot be used to write "Unicode compliant" programs. Python
2.7 and 3.2 refuse to link its curses module to libncursesw if
libreadline is linked to libncurses, because it causes a segfault on
FreeBSD. For Python 3.2, libncurses is a problem because Python 3 tries
to be fully unicode compliant.
More information in the following Python bug reports:
* (open) curses: Link against libncursesw instead of libncurses
http://bugs.python.org/issue9408
* (closed) curses crash on FreeBSD
http://bugs.python.org/issue7384
Comment of #9408 by Stefan Krah:
"Actually the distros should either link readline against libtinfo
(Fedora) or only use ncursesw (DragonFly)."
So would it be possible that libreadline is linked to libncursesw
instead of libncurses?
