I'd like to update readline to the latest version 6.0. The problem is
that the license was changed to GPLv3+ and we have some GPLv2 packages
using readline.

A possible replacement is the editline library which provides a
compatible interface and is licensed under BSD, unfortunately it
doesn't handle UTF-8.

Are we stuck with readline 5.2? Suggestions?

The package list is:
