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:
