    Bug in wpa 1.0-3ubuntu1

    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?
    As the Ubuntu Studio release manager and a Kubuntu developer, I do a lot of ISO testing and packaging.
    Make Ubuntu 13.10 awesome~!

    Re: Bug in wpa 1.0-3ubuntu1

    changelog (debian
    * 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).
    libreadline-gplv2-dev uses libreadline5

    libreadline5 just installed itself today in updates ?

    I just let it roll in.

    No show stoppers.

    True it does not behave like a show stopper.
    But I just do not like having both libreadline5 and libreadline6 installed.
    Libreadline6 is definitely newer, hence ABI bumb on naming too.

    wpa didn't/does not use libreadline6, re-quoting snipped
    instead of using the internal readline implementation added in wpa 1~.
