It seems to be specific to these two Linux distributions - though perhaps
there are others, as one Linux distro tends to be based on another. Mint
is based on Ubuntu, which is itself based on Debian.
Most other distros don't ship with a bash that is dynamically linked to
readline. It's never been a problem on Solaris or OS X either. Although
I've never built Sage fully on either AIX or HP-UX, I'm not aware of any
bash/readline issues on those operating systems either.
Unless someone is willing to set up an OpenSUSE system for people to test
on, I can't really see how we can support the latest release.
http://wiki.sagemath.org/SupportedPlatforms#Linux
says 11.1 is supported, and 11.2 and 11.3 are known to be broken.
I simply don't have access to the hardware/software to test this.
William posted a few weeks ago he was wanting people to administer virtual
machines. Unless someone is going to do this for the latest OpenSUSE, then
I can't see how we can support it. I already admin two machines myself
which are buildbot slavs (''hawk'' and ''t2'').
