No idea what this is - /dev/st0 normally is a SCSI tape device - and
why it should be accessed by rpm.

I would guess at 2 possibilities:
* The person who built the Cygwin rpms used group None - I have no
idea why.
* rpm tries to use an rpm group called None (I don't know why this
should happen, because we use the rpm group "rtems" when building
the rpms)

AKAIS, rpm looks for an rpm-package providing /bin/sh.

I guess you didn't use rpms for installing Cygwin, therefore there
is no rpm-package installed which provides /bin/sh

Try rpm -i --nodeps rtems-....rpm
