This is an known problem with packages from Keith ;)
Anyway - there is an flag that you can pass to rpm to ignore the
architecture. That should do the job. Anyway, the rpms should be changed.
Run rpm --help to look up the correct flag.

I believe the problem arises because they where build with an
cross-compiler and an rpm running on Linux - not MiNT. Please correct me
if I'm wrong.
