(maybe this is my incorrect usage?)

I had packages installed by brew that used readline 7. This went on fine for a while. At some point, brew installed something (at my direction) and moved to readline 8. Unbeknownst to me, readline 7 disappeared from my system! Tada, a pile of tools require reinstallation. Oh, and I didn't notice until weeks later when psql stopped working.

I'm not the only one, at least... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19063175



Yup, same exact problem. Bunch of stuff depending on readline 7, install something that wants readline 8, everything breaks. What a faff.
