That did not happen to me. Perhaps it will only occur with programs

The 2 cases were from a local program, that linked both readline and
ncurses _ in this order.
Clearly the order is important for the trouble _ but you need also that
one of the object files does
reference one of those 3 symbols...
A quick sampling (yes _ the script is fast...):
for f in bc cadaver-ssl calc ekg-ssl gftp-ssl ghc guile guile16 hugs
librep mutella mysql nickle \
octave-forge octave pilot-link9 python22 python23 r-base rpy-py23 ruby
ruby18 samba-ldap \

bash ; do echo $f; \
dlocate -L $f| xargs file | grep 'Mach\-O' | cut -f 1 -d ':' | xargs
nm|grep -F '_BC
_UP
_PC' ; done
yielded only hx in addition (and indeed the command hx breaks as shown
yesterday)
Also, at this point we might as well start adding versioned deps on
the latest readline on anything this effects and rev upping them.
If we were to do this _ shouldn't we use the opportunity to bring
readline up to date with all patches ?
We'll have to do it eventually to solve this. Only about 70 packages
depend on readline, and this problem does not affect them all. I've
tried a few (older binaries from apt-get) and haven't been able to
find even one which does it.
In view of the above test, I'm not convinced this is necessary, as a
practical matter.
If there are only about 70 pkgs, it may suffice to run the above test
on them...
Of course, if its a matter of (shlibs-) policy, I don't know.. -)
Best,
Jean-Francois
