Title:
libedit no longer reads editrc
Status in libedit package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
strings /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libedit.so.2.0.56 |grep editrc in
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS returns /.editrc as expected but strings
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libedit.so.2.0.63 |grep editrc in Ubuntu
20.04 LTS comes back empty. Verified with strace'ing the mysql client
as well: editrc is no longer picked up, making mysql rather irritating
to use. Peeking at the source code, the problematic commit is d253f567
which wraps the editrc code in an "#ifdef HAVE_ISSETUGID" which is BSD
only. I am unable to find upstream in version control to help further.
