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)

 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?
