Fedora Users — Re: Uninstalling real player (the "real" answer)

Not sure why, but Real has always renamed their rpm files like that. Theinstalled package never has the same name as the package you install.Poor packaging of a proprietary app... Who knows what they are thinking?

Fortunately, RealPlayer has become irrelevant. I haven't needed that inages.

Yeah, that is precisely what I got.  I installed RealPlayer11GOLD.rpm and the
output in the terminal was as follows:
[root@localhost Downloads]# rpm -Uvh
/var/cache/yum/x86_64/13/fedora/packages/*.rpm RealPlayer11GOLD.rpm

postinst called with unknown argument `1'
warning: %post(realplay-11.0.2.1744-1.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 1

I then ran "rpm -qa | grep -i realplay" I got the following:
realplay-11.0.2.1744-1.i386

On my fedora 12 I get when I run "rpm -qa | grep -i realplay":
RealPlayer-11.0.2.1744-20091006.i586

I wonder which one is the newest. Mine works OK.
