bash: Undefined symbol "rl_filename_rewrite_hook" referenced from COPY re location in /usr/local/bin/bash

[Freddie Cash]

Run ldd against the bag binary and see if it's picking up /use/lib/
libreadline.8.so

If it is and this is a FreeBSD 12.x system, then just delete (or rename)
that file. Run ldd again, and it should pick up the readline library from
/usr/local/lib.

It seems freebsd-update doesn't remove that library when upgrading from
11.x to 12.x on some systems. I posted about this in the -stable mailing
list a month or so ago.


Cheers,
Freddie
