There is at least a bug report:

I updated to 1.20 (and adjusted to the latest package naming standards btw)
which should fix the issue according to the bug report. Packages should appear
soon here:
  http://buildfarm.opencsw.org/experimental.html#pm_term_readline_gnu
Please let me know if this resolves you issue so the package can be released.


Best regards
