One thing I did couple of times (before a full system re-install) is to copy
needed files from a different box. Of course you need access to fairly
similar box (like a frontend). Getting a list of files in a package "rpm -ql
<pacakge name>" and copying them over should be quick. It might not work,
but full re-install is always an option.
