A safer/saner way to restore readline functionality:
$ rlwrap psql -n
rlwrap is a really great program. It will add readline functionality to any other line-oriented program.

Yes, rlwrap is very good.
But unfortunately it breaks autocompletion, so it's not a full substitute for readline. I guess for the time being the real "solution" is for everybody to recompile their own psql against readline and openssl.

Posted Mar 13, 2011 22:23 UTC (Sun) by trekker.dk (guest, #65149) [Link] Not that hard - at least in version 9.0.3 this worked:# apt-get build-dep postgresql-client-9.0 $ apt-get source postgresql-client-9.0 $ cd postgresql-9.0-9.0.3/ $ fakeroot-sysv debian/rules binary # dpkg -i postgresql-client-9.0_9.0.3-1_amd64.debOr something along those lines. $ and # characters denote privileges needed (root/user)
