Package: libreadline5 Version: 5.1-1 Severity: normal This version breaks the %[ and %] characters for psql (from the postgresql-client-8.1 package) prompts, which are equivalent to \[ and \] in bash, allowing terminal control characters to be included without messing up readline's idea of the prompt length.
My ~/.psqlrc includes: \set PROMPT1 '%[%033[0;35m%]%/@%m%R%#%[%033[0;22m%] ' This worked fine with libreadline5 5.0-11, but with the latest version the cursor ends up ~13 characters before the end of the prompt. Some examples of where the cursor ends up: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ^ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ^ If I remove the control codes that reset the color (between the second %[ %] pair), the cursor is placed closer to the end of the prompt, but still over the prompt. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.14-2-k7 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages libreadline5 depends on: ii libc6 2.3.5-8.1 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libncurses5 5.5-1 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii readline-common 5.1-2 GNU readline and history libraries libreadline5 recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
