This sounds like it now fails to set the necessary LD_PRELOAD for libreadline and falls back to the rather limited libedit. The most likely change was postgresql-common (122) unstable; urgency=low [...] * pg_wrapper: Find libreadline in multiarch directory, too. (Closes: #640520) http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~pitti/postgresql/common/revision/1098 This change worked for me in current sid (where libreadline6 is multiarch-ified), and Ubuntu (where it is not yet), as well as in my sarge chroot. Seems something is different for you, can you please give me the output of ls -l /lib/libreadline.so* /lib/*/libreadline.so* dpkg -l 'libreadline*' Thanks!
