Note that a couple of things break in weird ways every time readline gets a
new
major version. For me that's the command line editing functionality of
the kerberos tools like kadmin. The root cause of this is something
called "libss" which is part of e2fsprogs (!). It tries to abstract
readline functionality and has a hardcoded list of libraries that it
looks for:
get_readline.c:#define DEFAULT_LIBPATH
"libreadline.so.7:libreadline.so.6:libreadline.so.5:libreadline.so.4:libreadline.so:libedit.so.2:libedit.so:libeditline.so.0:libeditline.so"
Could you work with the e2fsprogs maintainer to make sure that libss
continues to work as expected?
I would do that. I will also provide a compatibility package for readline 7.
Thanks,
