Re: HELP! FTP has stopped working! (SOLUTION for now)
Yes, it is looking for libreadline.so.2, not libreadline.so.4.2, but it
isn't supposed to, according to the listed depends. I already tried the
link idea and it did not work, either. What did work was to uninstall
ftp and reinstall from the version in stable/Potato. Untill this gets
corrected I will just put ftp on 'hold' so it will not upgrade.
