Has anyone installed or rebuilt wsjtx on the new Debian release 9.0,
codename "stretch"?

Stretch dropped some packages that weren't being supported upstream,
apparently including libreadline6 that wsjtx has as a dependency.

libreadline5 is still present in stretch.

Log of install attempt attached.

Thanks, Phil

Package libreadline6 is not available, but is referred to by another

This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'libreadline6' has no installation candidate
