Checking evolution of information about required symbols

[Markus Elfring]

Hello,

Some information was published with the subject “Bash-5.2 Release available”
on 2022-09-26.
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2022-09/msg00056.html
https://www.mail-archive.com/info-gnu@gnu.org/msg03096.html

“…
Bash can be linked against an already-installed Readline library rather
than the private version in lib/readline if desired.  Only readline-8.1 and
later versions are able to provide all of the symbols that bash-5.2 requires;
…”

Would you like to recheck and reconsider such information in more detail?

On how many symbols does this program revision depend?

I got the impression that some of them became generally available only with
the change “readline-8.2 distribution sources and documentation” on 2022-09-26.
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/readline.git/commit/readline.h?id=f7a382fd09319b20ef4435b9b554183b605468c1
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-readline/2022-09/msg00010.html
https://www.mail-archive.com/info-gnu@gnu.org/msg03097.html

How do you think about related searches for appropriate solutions?

Examples:
* 2022-10-02
  shells/bash: bash-5.2_2 is marked as broken: ld: error: undefined symbol: 
rl_trim_arg_from_keyseq
  https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=266762

* 2022-10-15
  Fix the availability of the symbol “rl_trim_arg_from_keyseq” (for “bash 
5.2.2”)
  https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1204336
