Bug Description

Binary package hint: mysql-client-5.1

Pressing Delete, PG Up, or PG Dn in mysql-client echoes a tilde (~) instead of the expected deletion action. This behavior does not happen in other client programs as Python, r, or the Bash shell itself.

To solve this bug, install the program rlwrapp (for more information: man rlwrap)

sudo apt-get install rlwrap

and add that before the mysql command, example:

rlwrap-a mysql -u root -p

Enjoy :D
