Unreproducible for me (regardless libterm-readline-gnu-perl installed or not):

$ cupt shell
This is an interactive shell of the cupt package manager.
Building the package cache... [done]
cupt>xyz
E: unrecognized command 'xyz'
cupt>uiop
E: unrecognized command 'uiop'
cupt>

Can you post the full shell session log?
Do you have some other Perl shell helper module installed (i.e.

'dpkg -l | grep "libterm.*perl"'?)
