I don't suppose you tried, first, to install Cygwin 1.7, then later
installed 1.5? If so, this and other bad things will happen. See:
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-01/msg00659.html
The fix is to go back through setup.exe, and do a forced reinstall of
bash, libreadline, and libncurses, at minimum.
Either that, or totally nuke your 1.7 attempt and retry the 1.5 install
from scratch.

That's weird. I can confirm. It should give you libreadline6-*. Maybe
there's something broken with the package indexer.
