Package: rlwrap
Version: 0.43-1+b2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

rlwrap misbehaves when combined with readline 8.1, as described
in https://github.com/hanslub42/rlwrap/issues/108

The issue has been fixed; the fix is available in Debian testing,
in rlwrap version 0.46

rlwrap also works fine with older versions of readline; just this
particular combination of version is broken. The github bug report
provides a compatibility matrix, of what works with what.

I'm mildly confused, because I use rlwrap regularly, but only
spotted this bug a few days ago. (I also use multiple OS'es so
maybe I just never noticed the problem w/ Debian before? ???)

T'would be nice to have a compatible rlwrap/readline pair.
