I am currently
helping LinuxCNC to get closer to our distribution and they
have a dependency on
$ apt-cache
show libeditreadline-dev
Package: libeditreadline-dev
Source: libedit
Version: 3.1-20210910-1
Installed-Size: 28
Maintainer: LLVM Packaging Team

Description-en: BSD editline and history libraries (shim
development files)
GNU readline changed its license from GPL-2 to GPL-3 with
version 6,
which excludes GPL-2-only programs from using current readline
versions.
editline resembles readline functionally and with regards to its
API.
.
This is a development shim library that can be used to link a
GPL-2-only
program that depends on readline with editline.
which clashes with
libreadline-dev and hence with r-base-dev and dh-r:
The following
packages will be REMOVED:
dh-r libreadline-dev r-base-dev
The following NEW packages will be installed:
libeditreadline-dev
0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 3 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Anyone with any idea about it?
Cheers,
