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

[Rory McCann]

I have this problem, this is because mysql isn't compiled with readline
(or linked or something). Ergo it also can't do the nice stuff.

I'm also in favour oif marking this as bug, since it feels like a
regression. The mysql command line programme has lost functionality.

@wdoekes You could try creating a PPA (Personal Package Archive)? This
will compile the source package, and most importantly, compile it for
other architectures. I can't use your deb since it's for amd64
