You could try making a symbolic link that points from libreadline.so.5 to
libreadline.so.4.

It's not exactly an elegant solution, but it has worked for me in the past
in other areas with very little backlash. Most package upgrades are
tweaks for speed or add new funcctionality, so if anything references the
so.5 file, it will get that file as expected, if anything references so.4,
it will be forwarded to the so.5 file instead.

The command would be: ln -s libreadline.so.5 libreadline.so.4
