I thought of another problem with the with_readline=no method, which is that it requires the user to be issuing "make check" directly; it wouldn't be convenient for a buildfarm owner, say. (*Perhaps* it'd work to set with_readline=no throughout a buildfarm run, but I think that's asking for trouble with the build part.) I pushed a patch using SKIP_READLINE_TESTS. Christoph should be able to set that for the Ubuntu branches where the test is failing. regards, tom lane
