[Touch-packages] [Bug 1805040] Re: Apparently "Readline6" is not in Ubuntu 18.4.1 LTS but I need it
Why is this still in an "undecided" stage? Anyone who links against libreadline on Ubuntu 14 or 16, and tries to ship a package that can also run on 18, is screwed here.

This can't be a good answer. For external software providers, if they want to ship a program linked against libreadline, and support it on multiple LTS versions of Ubuntu (from 14.04 to 18.04), this makes it impossible for them. There's no way they can force a link against libreadline5, unless you provide a libreadline5-dev (which you don't, on nay of those versions - the only libreadline-dev will link against libreadline6 on 14.04 and 16.04, and against libreadline7 on 18.04. So there's no way to link a single executable against libreadline-dev and have it run on all of 14.04, 16.04 and 18.04. You really _must_ ship a libreadline6 in addition to libreadline5. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to readline6 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1805040 Title: Apparently "Readline6" is not in Ubuntu 18.4.1 LTS but I need it Status in readline6 package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I use applications that require Readline6.

Thanks for reporting. Looks like readline6 was removed intentionally, see https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/readline6/+publishinghistory or https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=877240 for details. Ideally the applications should be ported to readline7, which is currently supported and available in Ubuntu 18.04. If that isn't possible, you may be able to manually install the older readline6 packages from an older Ubuntu release. Beware that this might conflict with the newer readline version and may cause problems for other packages which now expect readline7. (I wasn't sure whether this should be converted to a question, so I left it as a bug report) ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #877240 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=877240 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to readline6 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1805040 Title: Apparently "Readline6" is not in Ubuntu 18.4.1 LTS but I need it Status in readline6 package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I use applications that require Readline6.
