I examined the mime type associations for Firefox on my system and found both mplayer-plugin and Helix (RealPlayer 10) associate rpm with audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin application. Things have changed since FC1 and this discussion: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-desktop-list/2004-June/msg00039.html . Back then I was under the impression that Real was deprecating the rpm extension. It appears that they have backed off from not supporting the extension. From the Helix FAQ, https://player.helixcommunity.org/2005/help/playerfaq.html , it appears that Real and Redhat are suppose to live harmoniously together; Real using "audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin" and Redhat "application/x-redhat-package-manager" for the rpm extension. Apparently some web developers are not dotting i's and crossing and t's.
