The version of the libreadline8 package on bullseye is 8.1-1. Is there any chance you're conflating the version number of GNU readline (a C library provided by the bash maintainer, currently version 8.x on bullseye) with some perl package that has "readline" in its name? Or that you simply forgot to install libreadline-dev? Could you show us the actual error message you get when you try to build it? Also, what's wrong with the libterm-readline-gnu-perl package in Debian? Is it too old or something? unicorn:~$ apt-cache show libterm-readline-gnu-perl Package: libterm-readline-gnu-perl Version: 1.37-1 [...] unicorn:~$ apt-cache show libreadline-dev Package: libreadline-dev Source: readline Version: 8.1-1 [...]
