[Bug 1805040] Re: Apparently "Readline6" is not in Ubuntu 18.4.1 LTS but I need it

[Shankar Unni]

Why is this still in an "undecided" stage?  Anyone who links against
libreadline on Ubuntu 14 or 16, and tries to ship a package that can
also run on 18, is screwed here.

Another user who ran into this, for example, is here:
