$ readelf -d /sbin/*fdisk |grep -i readl
 0x0000000000000001 (NEEDED)             Shared library: [libreadline.so.6]

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Mike Gilbert gentoo-dev 2016-01-05 22:21:05 UTC 
What version(s) of util-linux do you know are affected?
Comment 2 om3i 2016-01-05 22:26:15 UTC 
Im sure about 2.27.1
Comment 4 Duncan 2016-01-07 09:13:31 UTC 
Umm... Shouldn't that be a version-bump, since it potentially affects installed files?

I caught it due to --newuse, but not everyone will be using that option, and automagic deps in something as sometimes-critical as fdisk can seriously ruin a person's (already in pretty horrible shape if they're needing it and can't simply remerge!) day!

(In reply to Duncan from comment #4)

portage forces bash[readline], so there's no notable impact on user systems
