what Fabian meant was that for packages which are not in the 7.2 repos 
yet,  you should start looking for them in the buildlogs of the older 
release(s) -- 7.1.1503 in the particular case of SA. Download the 
package from the URL pointed to by Fabian, add it to your local repo, 
retry installing. wash, rinse, repeat for any deps that arise.
