It looks like you have a work around by building against libedit, but linking to against libreadline. I think this is a big improvement against everything being broken, but a really _HORRIBLE_ ingenious solution :)
Could we not go back to building against libreadline and reopen the licencing bug as not yet resolved. The issue has now been raised across the community and I do not think any other distribution has dropped building against libreadline. There is now a work around that can be implemented quickly in case libreadline becomes a serious legal issue. However, it think from a maintenance point of view, building against a broken lib and linking to another on the fly is really confusing, and it would be good to verify if the licencing issue is real. -- Ronald Duncan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
