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.
