Huh, are you shure you got it there? I didn't add some links to 
rpm-packages at www.freemint.de yet... ;-)

The mint-util is a collection of several utilities that don't really
fit into other packages.  You can get it from the SpareMiNT homepage
at
http://wh58-508.st.uni-magdeburg.de/sparemint/RPMS/m68kmint/mint-util-0.2.1-1.m68kmint.rpm

Furthermore you have to edit /etc/rpmrc as described in install.txt.
There have to be a line "Provides: /bin/sh" to tell rpm that there is
a sh, even if not installed as a rpm package.
