Package: postgresql-client Version: 8.3.12-0lenny1 Severity: serious During a general conversation about readline licensing, I noticed that psql links to both libreadline (GPL v2+) and libssl (BSD-like, incompatible with the GPL), thus ending up with the terms of both licenses applying. My reasoning is that since the licenses are incompatible with each other, the binary is technically undistributable. The consensus on #debian-devel was that this reasoning is correct.
Upstream claims that it should be possible to replace readline with libedit, and I noticed that libeditline is another option. It would of course be preferable to use one of those instead of disabling the functionality completely. I decided to file this against the version of the package in lenny, since it in my understanding applies to all versions currently distributed by Debian (the one in lenny being the oldest). -- Arto Jantunen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
