Package: ghc6 Version: 6.8.2dfsg1-1 Severity: important The current version of ghc6 in testing and unstable depends on libreadline5-dev. However, as of the date of this bug report, libreadline5-dev has been superceded by libreadline6-dev which now provides libreadline-dev. Several other packages like swi-prolog or liblua5.1-0-dev depend on libreadline-dev which installs libreadline6-dev by default on testing and unstable. Thus, it is not possible to install both ghc6 and packages which depend on libreadline-dev at the same time.
I suggest that ghc6 depends on libreadline-dev rather than on libreadline5-dev, if possible.
