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.
Searching the package list gave me back zero results
That's weird. I can confirm. It should give you libreadline6-*. Maybe
there's something broken with the package indexer.
