For those too impatient to wait for the updates to trickle down to the main repository (like myself), I've created an unofficial mysql-client package dynamically linked against libreadline6: http://wjd.nu/files/2009/12/mysql-client-5.1_5.1.37-1ubuntu5wjd2_amd64.deb
(See more info here http://wjd.nu/notes/2009#mysql-ubuntu-readline- delete-char-karmic ) Mind you, I'm a beginner when it comes to .deb packaging, so don't blame me when your mysql-client doesn't update when the official updates do come in. -- some keys print characters instead of performing their actions: ex: delete key generates ~ https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/451801 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
