The newest wpa (1.0-3ubuntu1) contains a bug.
The package wpasupplicant (which is a dependency of network-manager) depends on libreadline5.
Well we have had libreadline6 in use already with Precise Pangolin.
So updating wpasupplicant pulls in libreadline5 too.
libreadline5 is also already used by some other packages. I suppose that wpa is using 5 for a good reason (but dont ask me which one ;) )
Well the developers don't read here. Why don't you report a bug in Launchpad against this package?Quote:

* revert to GNU readline for wpa_cli, instead of using the internal readline
implementation added in wpa 1~. Prefer libreadline-gplv2-dev, because libnl
is GPL-2 (only) - switching back to the internal readline implementation is
targeted for wheezy+1 (Closes: #677993, #678077).

I just let it roll in.
No show stoppers.
True it does not behave like a show stopper.Quote:

Libreadline6 is definitely newer, hence ABI bumb on naming too.
wpa didn't/does not use libreadline6, re-quoting snippedQuote:
