You need to have first installed a recent version of libreadline2, which will
put itself in a libc5-compat directory and so not clash with libreadlineg2.

Actually most programs that use libreadline2 now have libc6 versions that
use libreadlineg2, but there are still a few left.

That's because you don't have the menu package installed. I know I should
have made the postinst so it didn't die on finding that error; I'll release
a patched version soon.
