Hello Bart,

The recently distributed binaries correspond to commit 200, and this was fixed in commit 201, so unfortunately these binaries don't include this fix.

Nevertheless, the fix was commited and a binary with the fix can be built from the tip of release-5.1.55-20 or the main branch soon (and will be released in 5.1.56). This is why I set bug was set to "fix commited", please notice it's not "fix released". When 5.1.56 is released we'll switch to fix released.

Switching back to "fix commited". Thanks,

N.

--with-readline uses the bundled copy of readline, which is why i used --without-readline to get to a working build.

As seen on the newly released 5.1.54-rel12.5 packages:

"mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.1.55, for debian-linux-gnu (x86_64) using EditLine wrapper"

As seen on the packages i built with --without-readline:

"mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.1.54, for debian-linux-gnu (x86_64) using readline 5.2"

As a result, this still isn't fixed.

Added --with-readline (in order to follow our RPM usage) to the configure line of the control file in the release-5.1.55-12 branch (commit #201). Now the mysql binary is built with readline support.
