# dpkg -l \*readline\* ... un libreadline-common <none> (no description available) un libreadline-dev <none> (no description available) un libreadline4 <none> (no description available) ii libreadline5 5.2-7 GNU readline and history libraries, run-time libraries un libreadline5-dev <none> (no description available) ii libreadline6 6.1-3 GNU readline and history libraries, run-time libraries ii libreadline6-dev 6.1-3 GNU readline and history libraries, development files un libterm-readline-gnu-perl <none> (no description available) un libterm-readline-perl-perl <none> (no description available) ii readline-common 6.1-3 GNU readline and history libraries, common files un tclreadline <none> (no description available) Just for the record, for some reason saying # apt-get build-dep postgrsql-8.4 (it doesnt install any libreadline*-dev as dependency) # apt-get source postgresql-8.4 # dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot succeeds but on that system it fails compiling from source. I must admit that i dont know that much about using computers to discuss it further whether it is bad or good thing that i need to install manually libreadline6-dev to compile from source. Now i am content with being able to compile PostgreSQL from source on Squeeze and thanks for your replies.
