Description:

dash is built passing the --with-libedit switch to ./configure, but attempts to actually use libedit's functionality with it doesn't work, nor is the /bin/dash binary actually linked with libedit.so. Upon further investigation, it seems that --with-libedit doesn't cause any error if libedit is not installed, and since libedit is not a dependency of the package, the system building this package isn't building with it despite it being intended to use libedit.

Additional info:
* I can reproduce this with 0.5.11.2-1, but it likely applies to older versions as well.

Steps to reproduce:

* `ldd /bin/dash` - observe that libedit isn't linked with it.

I've included a patch to fix the package.
