[Bug 451801] Re: some keys print characters instead of performing their actions: ex: delete key generates ~

[Austriaco]

For those of you Karmic users who, as I,  cannot live without readline
and don't want to wait until somebody backports the package to Karmic:
What I did was to uninstall mysql-server and mysql-client and install
mysql-client-5.0 mysql-server-5.0. The server will fail to downgrade,
even after mysql-server-5.1 has been removed, so one has to remove
/var/lib/mysql/debian-5.1.flag and run apt-get -f install to finish
installation (or better, now that you know and don't have to find out
for yourselves, remove the debian-5.1.flag file after removing mysql-
server-5.1 and before installing mysql-server-5-0).

Now I have readline and my vi-style editing-mode again.
