I never learned exactly how debian/ubuntu checks dependencies, so please
excuse this possibly silly question.
In some cases, might it not be possible simply to do:
ln -s libread5 libread6 (??)
I've encountered other situations where the only important difference
between the old and newer packages was the filename.

Has anyone installed or rebuilt wsjtx on the new Debian release 9.0,

Stretch dropped some packages that weren't being supported upstream,
apparently including libreadline6 that wsjtx has as a dependency.
libreadline5 is still present in stretch.
Hi Phil,
I don't think WSJT-X itself has a libreadline dependency but Hamlib
does I believe. If you are using the DEB file from the WSJT-X home
page or from the SourceForge files area you should note that package
is released only as a stop gap until our Linux package maintainers get
there thing done. It is built for the current LTS Ubuntu distribution
(16.04 LTS) and s not necessarily expected to work on other
distributions.
The source package we release should build locally on other Linux
distros, have you tried that? You may have to install some
dependencies of course.

See INSTALL in the archive for installation details.
