I'm having the same problem too. Some packages are missing in setup. 
libreadline6 is one. rsync is another. With an old install, they are 
visible in the setup with with a question mark instead of there size. 
They are however listed in the "setup.ini" but they are missing the 
version field... yes that's it: all packages missing the version field 
are missing from the setup tool in a fresh install.
