Sorry for the late reply - I've been on vacation over the Christmas period.
The problem seems to have disappeared with 7.3.0-2 that is now in the release pocket. It might have been fixed by "Fix check for rl_completion_matches in readline extension" that seems to exist in src:php7.3 7.3.0-2 but not (yet?) in Debian VCS, but I haven't verified this. I did verify that I can successfully rebuild src:php7.3 7.3.0-2 against disco-proposed. ** Changed in: libedit (Ubuntu) Status: In Progress => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1808393 Title: libedit 3.1-20181209-1 causes php7.3 to FTBFS To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libedit/+bug/1808393/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
