lua-devel can't find libreadline.so.5?

[Joshua J. Kugler]

This may be a total newbie mistake, but I'm getting the error below from 
the following command:

# yum -d0 -e0 -y  install lua-devel-5.1.4-4.el5
lua-5.1.4-4.el5.i386 from addon-epel5-x86_64 has depsolving problems
  --> Missing Dependency: libreadline.so.5 is needed by package 
lua-5.1.4-4.el5.i386 (addon-epel5-x86_64)
lua-5.1.4-4.el5.i386 from addon-epel5-x86_64 has depsolving problems
  --> Missing Dependency: libncurses.so.5 is needed by package 
lua-5.1.4-4.el5.i386 (addon-epel5-x86_64)
Error: Missing Dependency: libncurses.so.5 is needed by package 
lua-5.1.4-4.el5.i386 (addon-epel5-x86_64)
Error: Missing Dependency: libreadline.so.5 is needed by package 
lua-5.1.4-4.el5.i386 (addon-epel5-x86_64)
 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
                        package-cleanup --dupes
                        rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
The program package-cleanup is found in the yum-utils package.

addon-epel5-x86_64 is a local mirror of the EPEL5 x86_64 repository.

I understand there are 32 packages in the x86_64 repository, so that 
doesn't seem to be the issue.  Is something on my end broken, or is 
there a bug in the package?

You seem to be missing the package called readline. My RHEL-5 shows the following:
# yum whatprovides libreadline.so.5
Loaded plugins: product-id, rhnplugin, security, subscription-manager
Updating Red Hat repositories.
readline-5.1-3.el5.i386 : A library for editing typed command lines.
Repo        : rhel-x86_64-server-5
Matched from:
Other       : libreadline.so.5

You might be missing the rhel-x86_64-server-5 repository. If this is on a 
RHEL-system, you likely need to register it at the Red Hat Network:

This is a CentOS box.  Maybe I messed up the repos on install.  At any 
rate, you've given me a place to start troubleshooting.

Thank you.
