Package: swi-prolog
Version: 5.8.0-1
Severity: important

My debian testing system with ghc6 already installed cannot install swi-prolog 
without uninstalling ghc6 because of conflicting libreadline{,5,6}-dev 
packages. I'm not entirely sure if this is actually a bug in those or in this 
package, but I think the problem is swi-prolog (plus, the problem occured when 
installing this package).

Here's a transcript of what happens if I try to install swi-prolog:

Well this is ghc6 6.8.2dfsg1-1.1's "fault" and it will be fixed once 6.12
migrates to testing.

If you are impatient you can remove the binary dependency on libreadline-dev
from swi-prolog yourself.

Closing this bug as nobody can do much to help you; this is just one of the
drawbacks of running the "testing" distribution, unfortunately.


Regards,
