Then you need to update those RPMs that are needed by gabber.  Find
the RPMs (either from the RedHat site or falsehope or freshmeat),
download them, switch to the spot you downloaded them and:

	rpm -Fvh rpmname.rpm

Be aware that the RPMs you download may ALSO need you to download
later stuff.  This can be a vicious cycle.
