This is a bug in PackageManager. I've worked around it by adding 
version numbers
to all packages.

As to the "no further processing occurs": there is little or no 
feedback when installing a binary package. So, it could well be that 
readline actually is installed, please try it. Please note that 
readline only works in the command line interpreter, not in the IDE.

There is one little bit of feedback: where the window used to say "no" 
in the installed column for readline it should now say "yes".
