Description Johnny Robeson 2023-07-28 19:47:03 UTC

Description of problem:

sqlite3 isn't build with --enable-readline
and maybe editline isn't as good or isn't actually used.

readline-devel is part of the BuildRequires, but it is not used in the ./configure call

The backspace key returns control characters instead of actually backspacing

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sqlite-3.40.1-2.fc38

How reproducible:
every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. sqlite3 <some database>
2. type anything
3. press backspace
4. see control characters

Actual results:
See control characters

Expected results:
expect the last character to be removed

Additional info:

It works correctly when run with rlwrap and when when the the rpm is rebuild with `--enable-readline` added to the ./configure call

Comment 1 Johnny Robeson 2023-07-28 19:51:26 UTC

It turns out that --enable-readline isn't enough to fix al the problems. The up key (and i assume others) don't work, just backspace so far. However  it does work correctly with rlwrap.
