I would suggest perhaps indicating that the user may need to use their normal installation mechanism (i.e. YaST, rpmfind.net, etc.) Also, if it is possible to give a clue what the package name would be (i.e., 'Look for a package named something like libgtkmm2-* or gtkmm2-*'.) I think giving a few hints would make the error situation seem less "abrupt", and help ease the user over to traditional mechanisms. Or on the other hand, if it is to be considered a bug, perhaps provide an address for reporting bugs (i.e., this list if it's an autopackage issue, or the product's bug tracker URL otherwise.)
These are all good suggestions, and I've added them to the TODO list.
