If rpm is hosed, then you can't just use rpm to install the missing
package (becrypt).  One solution is to boot from the rescue CD and use
the rpm on the CD to install the missing package.  Another solution is
to use rpm2cpio (may be broken) to extract the beecrypt rpm file
directly (and then install it with rpm).  Another is to copy the
shared libraries (/usr/lib/libbeecrypt.*) from another machine.
