Hm, ought I kick this over to an openSuse group?

Suse's package manager seems a bit off: for instance it shows
readline-devel as installed and in the Files list: the includes are correct
/usr/include/readline
chardefs.h, history.h, keymaps.h, readline.h,
rlconf.h, rlstdc.h, rltypedefs.h, tilde.h

but claims
/usr/lib64
libhistory.so, libreadline.so

and those are not in the filesystem (after I unlinked of course)

The package manager has libreadline's File list correct:
/lib64
libhistory.so.6, libreadline.so.6
but that obviously disagrees with readline-devel.
